In Kansas, who is responsible for conducting a background check when a firearm is purchased from a licensed dealer?

The FBI via the NICS
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation
The local police department
No background check is required

The correct answer is: The FBI via the NICS

When purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in Kansas, the FBI conducts a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). This is a federal requirement that applies to all states. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation may also assist in the process, but the ultimate responsibility falls on the FBI. The local police department is not responsible for conducting the background check, as it is a federal requirement. It is important for the buyer to understand that a background check is required in Kansas and failure to comply can result in serious legal consequences. Therefore, option D is incorrect.
