Summary

Congressman Thomas Massie's H.R. 2267, the NICS Data Reporting Act, is slated for a House vote. The bill aims to mandate the DOJ and FBI to annually report demographic data for NICS firearm purchase denials and overturned denials, exposing potential systemic flaws and disproportionate impact on racial minorities. FBI data from 2024 shows 5,463 NICS denials were overturned out of 19,116 challenges.
