A new study from the Center for Gun Policy and Research and the Violence Prevention Research Program shows that laws on background checks have little effect on gun violence.

Strict gun laws passed in two states to require background checks for every firearm sale had virtually no effect, a new study has found.

Gun violence experts from the Center for Gun Policy and Research and the Violence Prevention Research Program conducted a study in Washington state, Colorado and Delaware to analyze whether state laws requiring more background checks actually resulted in more checks.

The results, published in medical journal Injury Prevention, suggest the laws had little impact.
