Gun Sale Anti-Fraud and Privacy Protection Act

Summary

Gun Sale Anti-Fraud and Privacy Protection Act - Amends Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act provisions regarding the National Instant Background Check System (NICS) to require the destruction of all records relating to the receipt of a firearm that would not violate State or Federal prohibitions, other than the identifying number and the date a call was assigned (current law), consistent with the Attorney General's responsibility under the Act to ensure privacy of the system and to prevent system fraud and abuse, but in no event fewer than 90 days after the licensee first contacts the system with respect to the transfer.
