[ [link removed] ]Everytown's 2025 State Legislative Report:
John—

Most states' annual legislative sessions just concluded.

And across the country, Everytown's grassroots network of Moms Demand
Action volunteers and gun safety advocates worked tirelessly to pass
life-saving gun violence prevention legislation and defeat dangerous gun
bills that would make our communities less safe.

Thanks to you, we've secured some major victories so far in 2025:

We're getting dangerous weapons, like assault weapons and illegal DIY
machine guns, out of our communities.

* In Rhode Island, we just passed a historic assault weapons ban—making
it the 10th state in the country to ban these weapons of war.
* In Colorado, we passed a bill that will prohibit the acquisition of
some of the most dangerous military-style weapons on the market unless
the person obtains a permit and receives safety training.
* In California, we're in the midst of fighting to pass an innovative
bill that would stop the spread of DIY machine guns—convertible
pistols modified with Glock switches—in our streets.

We're continuing to build on the progress of states that are already
national leaders for gun violence prevention.

* In Illinois, we achieved a major win for survivors of gun violence by
passing a bill that will help solve more gun homicides by requiring
greater transparency around homicide data.
* In New York, we codified and secured funding for the state's Office of
Gun Violence Prevention.
* In Washington, we strengthened firearm purchasing requirements by
passing a law that insists purchasers obtain a permit and undergo
live-fire training before buying a gun.

And we're beating the gun lobby's deadly "guns everywhere" agenda—even in
legislatures where the political odds aren't in our favor.  

* In Texas, we defeated two bills that, together, would have allowed 18
year olds to be licensed to carry fully-loaded guns on school
grounds.  
* In Arizona, we stopped legislation that would have incentivized arming
teachers, rolled back restrictions on gun silencers, and forced guns
onto college campuses.
* In Missouri, we made sure that none of the dozens of bad,
gun-lobby-backed bills become law—including bills that would have
expanded the state's Shoot First law and forced guns on public
transit.

With the Trump administration's attempts to gut federal gun laws, winning
at the state level has never been more important. That's why I'm so proud
of all of the hard-fought victories our movement accomplished this year.

Thanks to the tireless advocacy of our thousands of volunteers and the
over 75,000 state legislative actions driven by digital supporters like
you, we're even closer to securing a gun-violence-free future. [ [link removed] ]So
John, help us keep up the momentum by getting involved with our
movement in District of Columbia.
