Brady Campaign 2007 scorecard
Usually the Brady Campaign numbers come near the beginning of the year, so this data is as close as a representation of the laws during the time of 2006.
Some interesting stats:
Other highlights:
1 state (RI, census rank 44) has a Brady Rank of higer than 15 (Brady rank 47). Two states have a Brady Rank higher than 10 besides RI. Maine with a census rank of 50 (least amount of crime) and Brady Rank of 12. Wyoming has a census rank of 43 and Brady rank of 11. The bottom (least violent crime) 10 are:
