Who Authored or created The Insta Check gun control system that is used nation wide?
Properly known as the NICS, it was created by the FBI (and not by any one person). However, it is not used nationwide, only in 30 states. Other states, such as Virginia, had their own "instant check" system operating before NICS was created. In some other states, a background check is not required for citizens of that state that hold an "alternate permit"- such as a concealed weapons permit that is subject to the same or better screening than NICS. You can find information on NICS at the FBI website- including a map of the states that participate, and those that have different arrangements.

Does nics background check for medical marijuana use?
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) does not specifically check for medical marijuana use. However, individuals who use marijuana, even for medical purposes, are considered illegal users of a controlled substance under federal law. As a result, those who disclose their medical marijuana use may be denied a firearm purchase due to this federal prohibition.
If you have a federal conviction of fraud that can be found in the NCIC but not in state data banks can it still be discovered during a background check?
A federal conviction found in the NCIC may in some states be discovered during a background check. States that defer to the federal NICS check may not find any such conviction. However, states like Oregon that run independent searches will find any NICS, NCIC and a few other data bases convictions.
