In Arkansas, who is responsible for conducting background checks on firearms purchasers?

Federal Bureau of Investigation
Arkansas State Police
Local Law Enforcement
Department of Homeland Security

The correct answer is: Federal Bureau of Investigation

The reason why options B, C, and D are incorrect is that they are not the responsible party designated by law to conduct background checks on firearms purchasers in Arkansas. Option B, the Arkansas State Police, may be responsible for enforcing state laws and performing background checks for other matters such as employment and state permits, but not for firearms purchases. Local Law Enforcement, option C, may assist in the process but they do not have the authority to conduct the background checks. Option D, the Department of Homeland Security, may be responsible for national security and immigration matters, but not for conducting background checks on firearms purchasers in Arkansas. Only the Federal Bureau of Investigation, option A, has been designated by law to conduct these checks in Arkansas.
