Evidence demonstrates that background checks save lives. For example,
in the fourteen states that already require background checks for all
gun sales:
Gun trafficking is 48 percent lower than in states that fail to require background checks for all handgun sales.3
In 2010, the rate of women murdered by an intimate partner with a
gun was 38 percent lower than in other states, while the rate murdered
by other means was nearly identical.4
