Friend, we just released our 2025 Gun Law Rankings.

Each year, Everytown Research analyzes 50 gun safety policies across the
country, ranking every state based on the strength of its gun laws.

Once again, a clear pattern emerged: States with strong gun laws see less
gun violence. [ [link removed] ]How strong are District of Columbia's gun laws? See where it
stacks up on our Gun Law Rankings.

violence rate. California ranks #1 in the country for gun law strength at
the top of the graph. White text on blue background reads: Strong gun laws
save lives. We scored each state on the strength of its gun laws and
compared that with its gun death rate. Source:

Meanwhile, states that lack basic gun safety laws—the "national
failures"—have a rate of gun violence two and a half times higher than the
states that are national gun safety leaders.

Our gun law rankings are a roadmap for lawmakers to keep their communities
safe: if every state had the gun death rates of the nine states with the
strongest gun safety laws, 299,000 lives could be saved in the next
decade.

So in 2025, we're doubling down on our work to pass and defend gun safety
laws in state legislatures across the country.

gun violence in District of Columbia.
