John—
Statehouses are back in session across the country, and our volunteers are
hard at work. We're advocating for life-saving gun safety laws, and making
sure the gun industry and its lawmaker allies don't get to put their
dangerous guns everywhere agenda into practice.
Our research shows that gun safety laws help save lives—and we have work
to do in all 50 states. [ [link removed] ]Make sure you're ready to take action in
District of Columbia: Check out the 2023 Gun Law Rankings to see how
District of Columbia's gun safety laws stack up against the rest.

We compared gun policy in all 50 states, scoring each on the strength of
its gun laws and comparing it with its rate of gun violence. Once again,
our findings have made clear that gun laws work. States with strong laws
see fewer gun deaths.
Passing these laws is a core part of our strategy to stop the death and
destruction caused by the gun industry's dangerous agenda. For far too
long, it's been able to flood our communities with guns and get away with
it. Every year, the gun industry rakes in approximately $9 billion, while
gun violence kills more than 43,000 people in America. It's a killer
business, and we're paying for it with our lives.
One of the main reasons why the gun industry has been able to get away
with this reckless carnage is weak gun laws. In 14 states, elected
lawmakers have failed to put basic protections into place, choosing to
listen to the gun industry instead of their constituents. And the numbers
tell a story: Those states have nearly three times as many gun deaths as
the eight national gun safety leaders.
As we work to save lives in our communities, make sure you know what's at
stake. [ [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 this
crisis.
