STATE LEGISLATURES ARE FAILING
TO PROTECT KIDS FROM THE
DANGERS OF ILLEGAL GUNS

Brady Campaign's annual state report cards show minimal progress at curbing access by prohibited persons

Washington, D.C. - Criminals, youth and other prohibited persons are gaining access to guns with remarkable ease and continue to wreak havoc on communities around the country. And elected officials are doing little to stop them. That's the lesson of the 2005 Annual Report Cards of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

Overall, 32 states received a grade of "D" or "F" for the 2005 report card.
