Evidence That Universal Background Checks Are A Universal Failure
Posted at 2:00 pm on October 18, 2017 by Tom Knighton
A handful of states have implemented universal background checks. Anti-gun researcher Garen Wintemute took a look at three states–Washington, Colorado and Delaware–and conducted a study to see what the impact of the new universal background check laws would be. Well, the short version is that they were less than useless.
Two of the states had no real change in the number of background checks performed, while the third had a modest change. Wintemute called for more aggressive enforcement of the statute but failed to offer suggestions of just what that enforcement would actually look like.
However, the NRA’s Cam Edwards offers up a more detailed rebuttal.
