More than a million people failed background checks to buy guns during
the past 14 years because of criminal records, drug use or mental
health issues, according to FBI figures. But only about 1 percent of
federal background checks are rejected. Nearly 60 percent of those
failing background checks, or nearly 578,000 people, were rejected
because of a felony or serious misdemeanor conviction, according to
information on the FBI website that was updated this month.
Federally-licensed gun sellers are not allowed to sell a firearm
without a completed review by the National Instant Criminal Background
Check System. Universal background check: What does it mean? Statistics
show about 1 percent of applicants who failed a background check, or
10,180 people, were turned down for reasons related to mental health.
Involuntary commitment to a psychiatric institution or an inability to
manage personal affairs are reasons why someone would be rejected for
mental health reasons. Vice President Joe Biden has led a task force
that is recommending proposals to President Barack Obama this week to
stem gun violence. One focus of the current debate is whether more can
be done in the mental health area. FBI statistics show that 143,852
would-be gun buyers were turned down for domestic violence convictions
or because they were subjected to a restraining order related to
domestic violence issues, like stalking or making threats. More than
94,000 fugitives with warrants for their arrest were not allowed to buy
guns. People with a history of drug addiction accounted for almost
81,000 denials. Almost 12,000 illegal immigrants also did not pass
background checks to buy firearms.
