Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The case in which the Supreme Court ruled to suspend background checks by local law enforcement under the Brady Act was Printz v. United States. The Court found that the requirement for local law enforcement to perform background checks was unconstitutional under the Tenth Amendment, which limits the powers of the federal government over the states. Therefore, until a national database was created, the Brady Act's background check provision could not be enforced by local law enforcement.
