Currently, 37 states and the District of Columbia rely on NICS to conduct their background checks on gun sales, while the rest do it themselves.

End all violence, does not matter, gun, kife, fists, abortion. End it all I pray.

Legislation will help. Not having a racist bigot as a president will also help.

Unfortunately the NRA will prevent any from actually moving forward.
