[Giffords] Annual Gun Law Scorecard

Year after year, the evidence is clear: strong gun laws save lives. Is your state doing enough?

Since 2010, the experts at Giffords Law Center have researched and graded state gun laws, revealing an undeniable correlation between strong laws and low gun death rates. To build a safer America for us all, our leaders need to adopt these lifesaving solutions nationwide.

EVERY STATE, RANKED
Each year, our attorneys track and analyze gun legislation in all 50 states, assigning laws and policies point values. States are ranked and given letter grades, which are then compared to the most recent gun death rates released by the CDC. For over a decade now, the data has shown that commonsense gun laws prevent gun violence—but only in the states with the courage to enact them.

Select a state on the map or in the table to view that state’s individual scorecard.

#1 Oh, I see. California, Illinois, and New York all have "A"s. Texas, and most of the south, have an "F". Florida has a "C".

Maybe 'gun violence' by felons and gangbangers never charged doesn't count?

#2 Florida will move up to an easy B once Nikki Fried is out of state gummint. We would move up to A- of not for the GOPe types holding back Constitutional Carry here.
