When I was there, this was absolutely false.
Any fingerprints submitted as a background check were required by law to be deleted pretty quickly (within hours, iirc). Fingerprints submitted as part of an arrest were different.
Unfortunately, that may have changed as many gun control advocates have pushed to keep fingerprints from background checks on file indefinitely. I don't know if they've been successful.
