Is the brady bill still in effect?

Answer 1

The Brady Bill, officially known as the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, was enacted in 1993 and established a waiting period for handgun purchases and background checks for buyers. While the waiting period provisions expired in 1998, the background check requirements are still in effect. However, the implementation of these checks varies by state, and some states have enacted laws that expand or modify the requirements. Therefore, while certain aspects of the Brady Bill remain in effect, its original provisions have evolved over time.
