No, Congress is who passes laws. While the NRA/Brady Campaign/Girl Scouts/etc may lobby for/against particular legislation, only Congress made it law and signed by the President.magnum777 Is it true that the NRA started the NICS check system? I always thought it te the Brady campaign.
No, every state DOES use the FBI NICS. But some states choose to use a state agency as the point of contact for the dealer. Some of those states charge a fee to the dealer despite the FBI NICS being a free service.FITASC But not every state uses the FBI system either; one reason I oppose UBCs run by the FBI

Urge them to support the Fix NICS Act S.2135
Federally licensed firearms retailers rely upon NICS to be accurate in order to prevent the sale and transfer of firearms to prohibited persons. President Trump has called on Congress to address the deficiencies in the National Instant Criminal Background Check (NICS) System.
NSSF government relations staff has learned that the U.S. Senate could be voting on the Fix NICS Act, S.2135 as early as this week. This important legislation, which is a top priority of NSSF, will condition federal grants to states to incentivize them to submit disqualifying records into the NICS database, while punishing agencies who fail to do so.
Email and call your two U.S. Senators at 202.224.3121 and urge them to support this important bipartisan bill.
In other words, neither the Brady Campaign nor the NRA really got everything they wanted
