Senate Gun Control Agreement Adds ‘Investigative Period’ to Some Firearm Background Checks

The Senate gun control agreement that emerged Sunday adds an “investigative period” to some firearm background checks.

Breitbart News reported that the Senate agreement includes proposals such as a crackdown on straw purchases, funding to incentivize states to adopt, red flag laws, and deeper record searches for gun buyers under the age of 21, among other things.

The broadened record searches for gun buyers younger than 21 “requires an investigative period to review juvenile and mental health records.”
