The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, in force since 1994, has restricted sales to 102 822 people not legally entitled to possess firearms.

A Justice Department study aligns with the survey, showing about 3 percent rejection rates since implementation, supporting the law’s purpose to deter gun access for at least some criminals and prevent tragedies. The fight to repeal or weaken the Brady law continues, but supporters say it fulfills its aim.
