What questions are asked on gun background checks?

Gun background checks typically involve questions regarding the buyer's identity, criminal history, mental health status, and history of substance abuse. Common questions include whether the individual has ever been convicted of a felony, has a restraining order, or has been involuntarily committed to a mental institution. Additionally, buyers may be asked about their age and residency status. The goal is to assess the individual's eligibility to purchase firearms under federal and state laws.
