This is the case because according to the Supreme Court, the federal government cannot mandate that states carry out or enforce federal statutes like the Brady Bill.

<h3>What is the Brady Bill about?</h3>

The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, on the 30th day of November, 1993 was enacted, thus effectively modifying or amending it's predecessor - the Gun Control Act of 1968.

This new Act required that everyone who wanted to be armed must wait for five days before a dealer sold a handgun to an individual that is unlicensed.
