John–

I have some good news about the impact of your advocacy work. We've
crunched the numbers, and our findings are clear: In states with strong
gun safety laws, fewer people die by gun violence.

[ [link removed] ]See the results for yourself in the Everytown Gun Law Rankings, a new
tool that ranks states on the strength of their gun laws. Take a look to
see how District of Columbia stacks up against the rest.

safety. California, Hawaii, and New York are the top 3. Montana, Idaho,
and Mississippi are the bottom three.

We compared gun policy across the country, scoring every state on the
strength of its gun laws and comparing it with its rate of gun violence.
The 13 states that have failed to put basic protections into
place—"national failures" on our scale—have nearly triple the rate of gun
deaths as the eight states that are national gun safety leaders.

Many of these states have such weak gun laws because of elected lawmakers
who only listen to the gun lobby. And they haven't wasted any time pushing
their dangerous agenda in 2022. We're already seeing bills to allow
permitless carry and so-called "Stand Your Ground" in statehouses across
the country.

And we're expecting dozens more.

With so many statehouses back in session and major elections right around
the corner, we need all hands on deck. The gun lobby's allies are not
letting up, and neither are we. [ [link removed] ]Get ready to take action: See where
your state stacks up on gun safety and gun violence.

Thank you for being a part of this movement. Together, we can end gun
violence and defeat the gun lobby's "guns everywhere" agenda.
