Congress is now beginning to consider a legislative response to the tragic murders in Newtown, Connecticut. NCISS believes the most effective response to this atrocity is for a more comprehensive system of background checks for the purchase of firearms. In addition we strongly support enhanced penalties and stronger enforcement against "straw" purchasers and the improper transfer of weapons from one party to another.
President Obama and several members of Congress are urging adoption of additional measures, including placing limits on the size of magazines and some firearms deemed to be "assault weapons." Because licensed or registered security officers, private investigators and bail recovery agents often face dangerous adversaries ( who do not comply with legal weapon restraints) in the course of their employment, we are urging Congress to provide an exception from these additional restrictions on these licensees and registrants. NCISS will continue to monitor this issue and will carefully examine all reasonable proposals.
