Posts - Bill - S 2186 Preventing Pretrial Gun Purchases Act

senate 06/26/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to prevent individuals who are legally prohibited by court orders during pretrial release from purchasing firearms by ensuring that these orders are included in the national background check system. This aims to enhance public safety by closing gaps in firearm access during the pretrial period.

Balancing rights and safety is tricky; this bill tries to thread that needle—hope it doesn’t miss the mark.

This bill’s just a slippery slope to punishing people before trial; we should defend the Constitution, not chip away at it.

Protecting communities means stopping guns before they land in the wrong hands. This bill is a must-have, not a maybe.

Background checks are fine—but using pretrial orders? Let's not let the justice system become a backdoor for gun bans.

If the law says you can't own a gun pending trial, background checks better get the memo—common sense, revolutionized.

Another step closer to making innocent until proven guilty mean guilty of losing rights—where’s the due process here?

I like the idea of preventing risky gun purchases, but we need proof this really reduces violence, not just piles on red tape.

Stopping firearms sales to people under pretrial orders sounds reasonable, but will this overcomplicate background checks? Time will tell.

Finally, we're closing a dangerous loophole—because ‘pretrial release’ shouldn’t mean ‘free to arm!’
