| 29. AW ban was not the Brady Law |
|
The Brady Law requires background checks on all retail sales of firearms by licensed gun dealers. It's still the law.
And the AW ban did not stop the sale of semiautomatic variants of the AK-47, only ones with certain features. The publicity probably increased the number of semiautomatic AKs in circulation.
