John—
This month we published our year-end edition of Gun Law Trendwatch, which breaks down state firearm legislation from the past year. While 28 states passed 73 significant gun laws in 2021, we’re also seeing a dangerous trend spread across the country.
We’re fighting for our collective right to live free from gun violence. Can you chip in today to support this fight?
Over the past year, while some state legislators were strengthening gun laws, others passed a series of reckless bills that put our communities and our children at greater risk of gun violence.
Permitless carry, a gun lobby priority that allows individuals to carry guns in public spaces without any background check or safety training, was enacted in six states, bringing the total to 21 states—up from just four in 2014.
