Before selling a firearm, a dealer must conduct a background check through which system?

National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)
Connecticut State Police Background System
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
Local Police Department Check

The correct answer is: National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)

Before selling a firearm, a dealer must conduct a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). This system is used to determine whether a prospective buyer is eligible to purchase firearms or explosives. It is a federal system managed by the FBI and provides immediate access to information for determining a person's eligibility to buy firearms. The other options listed, such as the Connecticut State Police Background System, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Local Police Department Check, do not specifically relate to the required background check system for firearm sales conducted by dealers.
