Pro-Gun States in the U.S.A.
(as of December 2000)

The table below was excerpted from an NRA-ILA document titled ‘‘Research & Information - State Laws’’ which the NRA in its ‘‘infinite wisdom’’ has seem fit to remove from their website(!), although similar information is available from http://www.nraila.org/recmap/usrecmap.htm or from an anonymous but more up-to-date site containing references to State Firearm Law sources.

‘‘The advocates of gun control take as their first principle that the American people are morally incompetent creatures of passion. The America they envision for us is, accordingly, more like a national 24-hour day-care center than a self-governing republic of free men and women. If we agree to accept this apparently comfortable arrangement, we will have to check our citizenship at the door along with our guns.’’

— Alan Keyes
