Brady Campaign State Scorecards Indicate
That States Could Do More to Protect Families
The Brady Campaign released its annual state scorecards, which rates each state on the strength of its gun laws. The scores indicate that states could do more to protect families and communities from gun violence. Most states have weak gun laws that help feed the illegal gun market. However, more and more states are working to strengthen their gun laws to keep weapons out of the hands of dangerous people.
