Question

gun control
in the 1990s the brady bill was passed

• this bill placed a limit on who could purchase a handgun, the weapon that was used in the assassination attempt, and imposed a five - day waiting period when purchasing a handgun.
• while the bill was passed several years after the assassination attempt, most readers believe the bill passed as a result of this event

what did the brady bill that was passed in the 1990s do?
outlawed the purchase of firearms nationwide
placed a limit on who could purchase a handgun
expanded gun ownership rights throughout the nation

Explanation:

The text clearly states that the Brady Bill placed a limit on who could purchase a handgun and imposed a five - day waiting period when purchasing a handgun. The option "outlawed the purchase of firearms nationwide" is incorrect as the bill was about handguns and had a waiting period (not a nationwide ban). The option "expanded gun ownership rights" is also wrong as it limited (not expanded) in terms of who could buy handguns.

Answer:

placed a limit on who could purchase a handgun
