An infographic in the New York Times helps to visualize the state legislative activity in the last 12 months. It shows the fate of 178 bills in state legislatures that either tighten or loosen gun control measures.
The infographic includes bills that passed at least one house. It’s color-coded for whether it tightens or loosens restrictions on gun rights.
The bills are separated into categories, including:
- Permits
- The right to carry a gun in public
- Guns in schools
- Mental health and gun ownership
- Background checks
- Assault weapons
- Nullifying federal gun laws
- Gun access
- Lost or stolen firearms
