None

Congressman Dan Goldman introduces the Preventing Pretrial Gun Purchases Act to enhance background checks for pretrial defendants.

Quiver AI Summary

Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) has introduced the 'Preventing Pretrial Gun Purchases Act' to address perceived gaps in the federal background check system that allow individuals on pretrial release, deemed a public safety risk, to purchase firearms. The bill aims to amend federal law to prohibit firearm sales to anyone under a pretrial court order that restricts firearm possession, prevent the provision of firearms to such individuals, and allocate $25 million to support states in accurately reporting pretrial orders to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Senator Cory Booker (NJ-D) has submitted a companion bill in the Senate.

Goldman emphasized the need for the legislation, stating that it is a "commonsense step" to mitigate gun violence by ensuring those deemed dangerous do not have access to firearms. Booker echoed this sentiment, highlighting the necessity of closing loopholes that enable known risks to purchase guns. Organizations such as Brady: United Against Gun Violence and Everytown for Gun Safety have endorsed the bill, demonstrating support within advocacy circles for tighter regulations surrounding gun purchases for individuals on pretrial release.
