The Brady Campaign along with its Million Mom March and Brady Chapters, law enforcement, state and national allies advocate for strong state gun legislation to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people. 

We advise and counsel advocates, state legislators and statewide elected officials on effective strategies to pass strong gun legislation and defeat attempts to weaken state gun laws.

We offer expert advice on legislative strategy and share best practices from other states.  We produce and disseminate our annual Brady State Scorecard that rates each state on the strength of its gun laws.  Please click on the state map above to find out your state laws.
