The firearms data infrastructure in the United States is severely limited in scope and fragmented in nature. Improved data systems are needed in order to address gun violence and promote productive conversation about gun policy.

We propose that states evaluate the gaps in their systems, expand data collection, and improve data presentation and availability.
