Why Chuck's?
Brady and our allies are working to reform Chuck’s Guns because it knows its guns are used in crime and refuses to adopt responsible business practices. We have asked them, protested them and now its time to put pressure on government to force them to reform and stop supplying the guns fueling Chicago's gun violence.
Some quick facts about Chucks:
1) Chuck’s is part of the roughly 5 percent of gun dealers around the country that supply about 90 percent of the guns linked to crime
2) Chuck’s Gun Shop was the source of nearly one out of every twelve guns traced to crime in Chicago.
3) From 2009 to 2013, 1,516 guns recovered in crime in Chicago were traced back to Chuck’s.
4) Nationwide, 2,370 guns recovered in crime were traced back to Chuck’s from 1996 to 2000, the most of any gun dealer in the country.
