Brady Act

Read a random definition: safe-storage statute

A quick definition of Brady Act:

The Brady Act is a law that helps check if someone who wants to buy a handgun has a criminal record or a history of mental illness. It was named after James Brady, who was shot during an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. The law makes sure that people who shouldn't have guns don't get them, to help prevent gun violence.

A more thorough explanation:

The Brady Act is a federal law that was created to establish a national system for quickly checking the background of someone who wants to buy a handgun. The official name of the law is the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act. It was named after James Brady, who was a member of President Ronald Reagan's staff and was wounded by gunfire during an attempted assassination in 1981.

The law requires that before someone can buy a handgun, their background must be checked to make sure they are not a danger to themselves or others. This is done through a national system that quickly checks criminal records and other important information. The law helps to prevent people who should not have guns from getting them.

For example, if someone has a history of violence or has been convicted of a serious crime, they would not be allowed to buy a handgun under the Brady Act. This helps to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and makes our communities safer.
