22. I've been advocating for wider access to certain records for the NICS for years.

The NICS (the system used for firearms background checks) should have access to information like domestic-abuse indictments and court orders, certain mental health diagnoses, and other information that the database doesn't contain at present. This would require changing some laws as to who is and is not legally permitted to receive a firearm, which I also support. FWIW, I'm a gun owner and competition shooter.
