¶ … Bill Becomes Law
The following is a matter that relates to the nursing community. It requires legislative attention. There is a research that leads to a proposal on the same.
The Situation

But, even though we have the Brady Bill, homicides keep going up. Critics of the Brady Bill suggest that this means that the Brady Bill doesn't work and we ought to get rid of it.
