Programs and results
What we aim to solve
We work to end gun violence in America by educating the public about the state of gun violence and proposing solutions that increase the safety of community through commonsense policies and solutions. Giffords Law Center offers solutions through legislation, litigation and education, working with the public to offer solutions locally, at the state level and the federal.

Gun Law State Scorecard
More than 20,000 people kill themselves with a gun every year, and over one million Americans have been victims of gun violence in the past decade.
Gun violence takes a number of different forms, and so do its solutions. No one policy will stop every shooting, but what we do knowbecause our research shows it, year after yearis that when taken in the aggregate, smart gun laws have a significant impact on public safety. They save lives.
The premise of the Law Centers annual Gun Law State Scorecard is simple. Our legal experts evaluate every states gun laws, assign grades, and compare those grades with the states most recent gun death rate. Consistently, we see a powerful correlation: states with stronger laws have fewer gun deaths per capita while states with weaker laws have more gun deaths.
