What does it say?

Since Brady background checks went into effect in February 1994, every day, more than 300 attempts by dangerous people to purchase a gun have been blocked. During the same time period, gun crimes declined sharply.

How can I use it?

Use this report to advocate for extending Brady background checks to all gun sales, including those that occur at gun shows.
