Brady Center 'Report' Off The Mark NSSF on Friday called the conclusions of "Without a Trace," a gun tracing report issued by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, "ludicrous" and referred those who want an unbiased explanation about the relevance of trace data to the real experts, including ATF. "'Without a Trace,' shows antigun groups are without a clue," said NSSF senior vice president and general counsel Lawrence G. Keane. "This so-called report is the last gasp of a desperate extremist group that remains intent on pursuing junk lawsuits against a critical U.S. industry -- despite the clearly stated will of the American people through the actions of Congress and state legislatures to block such lawsuits." Keane cited countless statements and documents that support restricting the release of trace data to the public. "Law enforcement supports the restrictions. ATF supports the restrictions. Congress and the President support the restrictions."
