It expired long ago, but was also moot once a state got onto the NICS system. I moved to VA right when the Brady Law went into effect, but VA was already on the NICS system, so they never had to have a waiting period. Some of the cities and counties passed waiting periods, but then a state preemption law got passed and nixed all of those too. The Brady Law was another feel-good, do-nothing law that only expanded federal powers and stroked Bill Clinton's ego.
