The Brady Bill, which mandated background checks for handgun purchases, faced constitutional challenges primarily concerning the Second Amendment and states' rights. Critics argued that it infringed on the rights of individuals to bear arms and imposed undue federal mandates on state and local law enforcement. In 1997, the Supreme Court ruled in Printz v. United States that the federal government could not commandeer state officers to enforce federal regulations, deeming aspects of the Brady Bill unconstitutional. Thus, while the intent to enhance gun control was upheld, the means through which it was enforced were found to violate the Constitution.

What should you know about the brady bill?
The Brady Bill, officially known as the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, was enacted in 1993 to impose a waiting period and background checks for handgun purchases in the United States. Named after James Brady, who was injured during an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, the law aimed to reduce gun violence by preventing firearms from being sold to individuals with criminal records or mental health issues. The bill initiated the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which allows for real-time background checks at the point of sale. While it has been credited with preventing some gun sales to prohibited individuals, debates continue regarding its effectiveness and the broader implications for gun control.
