The regulation of firearms in the United States predominantly occurs at the state level, resulting in significant variations in gun laws across the country. Despite federal background checks and restrictions on certain firearms, effective gun control reform has stagnated in Washington, D.C., largely due to the partisan divide. In contrast, state governments have enacted over 700 firearm safety laws since 2012, reflecting differing political beliefs, particularly favoring stricter regulations in Democratic-controlled states. As a result, many states have developed distinct regulatory frameworks, leading to a complicated landscape of firearm laws nationwide.
Firearm regulations in the U.S. are largely set at the state level, with laws varying significantly across the 50 states, creating a diverse regulatory landscape.
In the past decade, more than 700 new firearm safety laws have been passed at the state level, with a strong partisan divide in legislative approaches.
