An article in Congress reports that problems abound in the Brady Bill gun control proposal which mandates a 7-day waiting period. There would be a seven-day waiting period before any gun dealer sells a handgun to a customer. During that week law enforcement officials can, but are not required to investigate the purchaser. Part of the problem is a lack of national criminal records; dealers have no list to check. Another argument is that 17% of guns are purchased from dealers and, there are already one guns in circulation in the U.S. The Brady Bill proposal, however, closes some of the loopholes for punishment.
