New Mexico Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

The correct answer is B. The system used for firearm purchases from a licensed dealer in New Mexico is called NICS, which refers to the National Instant Criminal Background System. This system is used by the FBI to conduct background checks on potential buyers. Option A, FBI only, is incorrect because NICS is the name of the system used by the FBI. It is not the name of the FBI itself. Option C, state system only, is incorrect because while some states may have their own background check systems, the question specifically mentions New Mexico, which uses the NICS system. Option D, both FBI and state system, is incorrect because NICS is the name of the system used by the FBI, so it encompasses both the FBI and state systems. In other words, the state system is included in NICS.
