Which federal law requires firearms dealers in South Dakota to initiate a background check on purchasers of firearms?

Gun Control Act of 1968
Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act
National Firearms Act
Firearm Owners Protection Act

The correct answer is: Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act

The correct answer is the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act because this federal law mandates that firearms dealers must conduct a background check on individuals before selling them a handgun. This law helps to prevent the sale of firearms to individuals who are prohibited from owning them, such as convicted felons, individuals with a history of domestic violence, and those with certain mental health issues. The other options listed, the Gun Control Act of 1968, the National Firearms Act, and the Firearm Owners Protection Act, do not specifically require background checks for firearm purchases in the same way that the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act does.
