Keep Guns Out of Criminals’ Hands
< < Go Back
Background checks can keep guns away from dangerous people, but we need your help to Finish the Job.
Since the Brady law went into effect on February 28, 1994, background checks have stopped more than 2.8 million gun sales to prohibited purchasers including convicted felons, domestic abusers, fugitives from justice, and other dangerous individuals.
Millions of guns are sold every year in “no questions asked” transactions. Experts estimate that 40 percent of guns now sold in America are done so without a Brady background check.
It’s time for Congress to finish the job and expand Brady background checks to stop criminals and other dangerous people from getting guns in America. Check out what Congress is doing to expand Brady background checks.
