In no less than 200-words, describe how you would craft a new policy that allowed officers to determine if individuals were plotting terrorist acts or carrying concealed weapons.
Explanation:
Significantly, a person holding a state-issued permit allowing the person to acquire or possess firearms (e.g., a concealed weapons permit) is not required to undergo a background check if the permit was issued: (1) within the previous five years in the state in which the transfer is to take place; and (2) after an authorized government official has conducted a background investigation to verify that possession of a firearm would not be unlawful.13 Permits issued after November 30, 1998 qualify as exempt only if the approval process included a NICS check.14
In general, every crime involves three elements: first, the act or conduct (“actus reus”); second, the individual's mental state at the time of the act (“mens rea”); and third, the causation between the act and the effect (typically either "proximate causation" or "but-for causation").
