Printz v. United States | 521 U.S. 898 (1997)
The United States Supreme Court is known to save the announcement of its most controversial case for the last day of each term. It’s no wonder that Printz versus United States was announced just as the justices were headed out the door to close the 1997 term. The case raises deeply divisive issues involving gun control and the balance of power between the states and the federal government.
Enacted by Congress in 1993, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was a federal gun control statute that established a nationwide handgun background-check system. While gearing up to implement the nationwide system, interim provisions of the Brady Act temporarily required state and local officials, rather than federal officials, to conduct the background checks of prospective firearm purchasers. Under these interim provisions, firearm sellers were required to report pending firearm sales to county police chiefs, who were then required to conduct the background check and validate the sale.
