Gun Law Trendwatch: May 14, 2019

A Roundup and Analysis of the Latest State Firearm Legislation

Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence tracks and analyzes firearms legislation in all 50 states. Our attorneys research more than 1,700 bills each year—many of which are modeled off policies crafted by our legal experts—and identify trends that inform the movement’s advocacy efforts. We use this information to educate lawmakers, advocates, and the public as bills advance through statehouses.
