Dear Kansas City residents, your state is a national failure when it comes to gun safety policies. Best, Retiring Guy

 

Top headline:  KC Blotter (Kansas City Star email)

Bottom headline:  Everytown Research

From Everytown Research:

We compared gun policy across the country, scoring every state on the strength of its gun laws and comparing it with its rate of gun violence. In states where elected officials have taken action to pass gun safety laws, fewer people die by gun violence. Choose a state to see how it stacks up on 50 key policies, or explore a policy to see how much of the country has adopted it.

The national leaders are all blue states.

The national failures are almost exclusively red states.
