The Brady Gun Control Law Is A Failure

Because the background checks ran on gun purchases have a 0.00009% success rate.

Brady background checks for 2006 - 8,209,900

Total number of convictions from felons trying to buy guns - 73

That’s a whopping 0.00009%

I wonder if maybe, just maybe felons don’t normally buy their guns from a retail store?

Undoubtedly.

And then there’s also the fact that owning a gun doesn’t make you more likely to commit crimes.  Guns don’t murder and rob.  People murder and rob.  If you want to stop the crime problem, deal with the criminals.  Not the guns.
