NICS improvement bill advances
Two weeks before students return to classes at Virginia Tech, a Senate panel voted yesterday to strengthen the national instant background-check system for gun buyers.
Responding to the Virginia Tech massacre, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to advance a measure aimed at closing gaps in the national background-check system.
It doesn’t really close any gaps. What it also does is allocates money to states to keep their info up to date so the system works.
