In Delaware, who is responsible for conducting the background check for a firearm purchase?

The firearms dealer
Delaware State Police
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Department of Justice

The correct answer is: Federal Bureau of Investigation

In Delaware, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is responsible for conducting the background check for a firearm purchase. This process ensures that potential buyers do not have a criminal record or any other disqualifying factors that would prevent them from legally owning a firearm. The FBI conducts thorough background checks to promote public safety and responsible gun ownership. While the firearms dealer may assist in facilitating the background check process, they are not the ones directly responsible for conducting it. The Delaware State Police and the Department of Justice may be involved in aspects of regulating firearm sales and ownership in the state, but the FBI specifically handles background checks for firearm purchases in Delaware.
