In Arkansas, who is responsible for conducting background checks for firearm transfers between private parties?

  1. Arkansas State Police

  2. Federal Bureau of Investigation

  3. No background check required

  4. Local law enforcement

The correct answer is: Federal Bureau of Investigation

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, is responsible for conducting background checks for firearm transfers between private parties in the state of Arkansas. This is because of the federal law known as the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, which requires background checks for all firearm purchases from licensed dealers. While the Arkansas State Police and local law enforcement agencies may also conduct background checks, they are not solely responsible for these checks and may only do so in certain situations. Additionally, the option stating that no background check is required is incorrect as all firearm transfers, including those between private parties, are subject to background checks under federal law.
