360. Purchasing guns legally you mean.
Why would someone who can't pass a background check even bother trying to buy a gun where a background check is required? They're going to buy the gun in an unregulated market, where there are no background checks.

That's assuming that this criminal can't pass a background check in the first place. Although, if they haven't been convicted yet, is it really fair to call them a criminal whether or not they've committed crimes? Of course, as one of our friends down in the dungeon is so fond of saying, "It only takes a split second to go from being a law abiding gun owner to a criminal." Or something like that.

So, really, what is the Brady Bill other than a feel good piece of crap?
