John— Today we launched our [ [link removed] ]Annual Gun Law Scorecard, which grades and ranks states on their gun laws. Did your state get a passing grade? Year after year, the evidence has been clear and consistent: states with strong gun laws have lower gun death rates, while states with weak laws have higher rates. We know gun laws save lives—but only in the states willing to act.  [ [link removed] ]Check out the Annual Gun Law Scorecard and see how your state stacks up.

America’s inconsistent patchwork of gun safety laws undermines progress
and leaves everyone vulnerable. [ [link removed] ]As my colleague Kelly Drane told CNN
today, guns from states with weak laws are trafficked into states with
strong laws, driving violence rates up, particularly in cities.

Even so, states with weak laws still suffer the most—of the 20 states with
the highest gun death rates, 17 of those states received Fs for their gun
laws and none received As. Mississippi, a state with some of the weakest
gun laws in the country, has 10 times the gun death rate of Massachusetts,
which has some of the strongest laws.  

The solutions to American gun violence aren’t a mystery—we just need more
leaders who will stand up to the gun lobby and embrace the policies proven
to save lives. [ [link removed] ]I hope you’ll take a look at the findings in our Annual
Gun Law Scorecard.  

Gratefully,
Allison

comprehensive, effective gun safety laws in every state!
