Preventing Pretrial Gun Purchases Act

This bill requires background checks to block gun sales to people under court orders restricting firearm access before trial. It amends federal gun law to explicitly prohibit firearm purchases, possession, or receipt by individuals subject to such pretrial court orders. The law updates background check systems (like NICS) to include these orders, ensuring courts can prevent gun access during pending criminal cases. It directly affects individuals detained before trial who face court-mandated firearm restrictions.
