DoubleCheck has developed cutting-edge AI technology that can flag harmful intent and troubling criminal history before a potential shooter purchases a weapon. DoubleCheck offers a concurrent screening process that runs alongside the existing point-of-sale system. It provides additional information that the federal process may miss on the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) without adding any time or friction at the register.
