According to the independent research group, Gun Violence Archive, there were 689 mass shootings in the U.S. in 2023, more than double the number reported just five years earlier.
In the absence of federal legislative action, gun policy has been set almost exclusively at the state level for more than a decade.
State governments have cumulatively passed more than 700 gun safety laws since the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, including 88 new laws in 2024 alone.
The Gun Law Scorecard assigns each state a letter grade rating the strength of their firearm laws, ranging from 'A' for strong laws to 'F' for weak.
