How free are the states with respect to the right to keep and bear arms? 

For years, the answer to that question has been fiercely debated, with opinions based on everything from good-faith reports to “trust me bro” black boxes and political voodoo. 

That sucks—so we wanted to fix it. 

The FPC Freedom Index is the clear, principled, and objective approach to state rankings for the Second Amendment that gun owners and policymakers deserve—and need. The goals of the FPC Freedom Index are simple:

• Give gun owners and policymakers a simple but objective view into some of the most important areas of regulation
• Encourage state representatives to do what’s needed to achieve a perfect grade (and beat their neighboring states in a friendly competition that promotes freedom)

The FPC Freedom Index helps you navigate the reality about your state’s gun control regulations—and most importantly, helps you zero in on gun control laws that should be repealed.

Use the map to check out your state’s score. Browse around to see what we found. Then Join the FPC Grassroots Army. We are working to dismantle these gun control laws—state by state, and statute by statute—until the entire map is gold.

If your state isn’t at 100%, the work isn’t done—and we need your help to do it.
