State Policy Roadmaps: Minnesota and New Mexico 

The Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions at the Bloomberg School of Public Health has released two new state policy roadmaps to help legislators address gun violence. Each roadmap outlines data-backed recommendations shown to save lives, highlighting the urgent need for action as firearm deaths continue to rise. 

Minnesota

Gun deaths have steadily increased over the past decade, with an alarming 525 Minnesotans dying from firearm violence in 2023. The release of Minnesota’s roadmap follows recent tragedies, including the school shooting in Minneapolis and attacks involving state legislators.

New Mexico

Gun deaths have also risen sharply in New Mexico, where 530 people lost their lives to firearm violence in 2023. That represents nearly one death every 17 hours. While the state has made important progress in passing prevention laws, the roadmap identifies nine additional areas for action.

 Protecting Public Safety in Firearm Rights Restorations 

The U.S. Department of Justice has proposed a new rule that would allow the Attorney General to restore firearm rights to individuals previously prohibited from gun ownership. Because decisions like these have life-or-death consequences, our team submitted formal recommendations to strengthen the rule and better protect communities from gun violence.
