Description
Broken Records uses data culled from the Department of Justice and various state sources and gives failing grades to 22 states for having grossly inadequate criminal, domestic violence, and mental disability records.
Over a 30 month period, 10,000 felons and others prohibited from buying guns were able to pass background checks and get firearms because most states have failed to adequately automate background check records.
