To increase public safety and reduce the threat to domestic security by including persons who may be prevented from boarding an aircraft in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, and for other purposes.

This bill, introduced in 2005, seeks to expand the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to include individuals who are prohibited from boarding commercial aircraft for security reasons. Under this legislation, it would become illegal to sell or provide firearms or ammunition to anyone on these federal watchlists. Additionally, the bill would make it a crime for those specific individuals to ship, transport, possess, or receive any firearms or ammunition.
