The Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) internal process for firearms-related background checks is gearing up for a change. A secondary system, known as the National Data Exchange (N-DEx), will be implemented in conjunction with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), National Public Radio (NPR) reported.
"The N-DEx system is an unclassified national information sharing system that enables criminal justice agencies to search, link, analyze, and share local, state, tribal, and federal records," the FBI's website said. "N-DEx is also a strategic investigative information sharing system that fills informational gaps and provides situational awareness."
N-DEx is being implemented because of previous NICS failures, particularly in the Charleston church shooting incident where 21-year-old shooter Dylann Roof was able to purchase a firearm two months before the shooting despite having a felony drug arrest on his record. That arrest should have barred him from purchasing a firearm.

My old FFL promised that a mysterious fire would close down his gun shop only days before his retirement, thus destroying all the forms.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Even the setting up of this sort of system, is a violation of the intent of the Second Amendment.
It's time we put this genie back in the bottle."
Well said! The DOJ & the FBI should have been flushed by Trump on Feb 1, 2017! 95% of everything in the fake news media today would be non-existent...
I’d have to give that some thought, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility.
My concern would be federal crimes and large national incidents where a federal level investigative and prosecutor staff would seem necessary.
Yes, I know they haven’t got a good track record right now, and that’s an understatement.
The positives of NICS is it doesnt allow cataloging or tracking of purchases. Havent seen this new system to comment on it.
You bring up a good point. This could have a much broader impact on John Q. Public than just firearms purchases, with little to no ability to correct or even know about any erroneous information in the system.
Oh please, as if they care about that.
I have been at that point since at least W A C O! ! ! ! ! ! !
Probably even prior to Ruby Ridge!!!!!!!
The votes are in and the ruling is about as clear as can be.
The agency is over the hill, corrupt as corrupt can get, and we are paying for the corruption. In more ways than one.
HOORAY wita!
