== == Nonfatal gun crime has decreased after the passing of the Brady Bill. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, "Nonfatal firearm-related crime has plummeted since 1993, then slightly increased in 2005." (Source: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/firearmnonfatalno.htm) The Brady Bill was passed in 1993. In 2005, the federal Assault Weapon Ban (AWB) expired.

However, it does not necessarily follow that gun-control caused the decrease in nonfatal gun crime. Other concurrent events, such as improved economic prosperity, may account for some or all of the change. Banning guns does not necesarily mean that violence will be stopped, or even slowed, since banning guns takes guns from responsible citizens, but does not take illegally acquired guns from criminals( .025% of all crimes in the US *2007-2009 average statistic* involve a firearm of any kind.)
