In Pennsylvania, per the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader:

BUTLER TWP. – Township police arrested a 45-year-old McAdoo man while he was attempting to purchase a firearm on Saturday, according to a police news release.

Christopher Fabiani, of South Kennedy Drive, was at a Drums firearms dealer trying to purchase a gun, township police said. During the purchase, police said Fabiani was checked through a state computer system to determine if he was eligible to buy the gun.

The computer check found that Fabiani was wanted, and township police were notified, police said. Officers responded to the scene and apprehended Fabiani leaving the gun dealer.

Fabiani was wanted by Schuylkill Haven police for resisting arrest, police said.

Township police are continuing the investigation to determine if Fabiani lied while preparing the paperwork to purchase the firearm.

An example of the 1.5 million felons, fugitives, dangerously mentally ill, domestic abusers and others rejected at the point of sale by Brady criminal background checks since 1994.

This also helps illustrate the recent finding from the Medical College of Wisconsin that state and local-level background checks are "more effective in reducing firearm homicide and suicide rates than states that rely only on a federal-level background check."  (Pennsylvania is a Point of Contact state.)
