Description:
New York State views achieving the objectives of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Improvement Amendments Act as a fundamental step in protecting the safety of the citizens of our State and of the nation.
The NIAA seeks to address the gap in information available to NICS about such prohibiting mental health adjudications and commitments, and other prohibiting factors. Filling these information gaps will better enable the system to operate as intended to keep guns out of the hands of persons prohibited by federal or state law from receiving or possessing firearms. The automation of records also reduces delays for law-abiding persons to purchase firearms.
Through the NARIP and NCHIP grants, New York State continually improve the scope and accuracy of the records maintained and contributed to the NICS database. NYS recognizes that complete and accurate records are essential cornerstones in achieving the public safety goals of the Brady Act, in addition to protecting the rights of individuals lawfully purchasing a weapon. New York State''s recent success, continued efforts and vision demonstrate our commitment to sustaining our partnership with NICS.
