An issue you can track
Gun Safety
The rules around firearms — who, where, and how.
What we track
When a bill touches any of these, you’ll hear about it
- Background checks and waiting periods for buying firearms
- Where guns can and can't be carried — schools, parks, public buildings
- Safe storage rules, especially in homes with kids
- Red-flag laws and how they're used
Why it matters
Why this is worth watching
Whatever you believe about guns, the rules are set mostly by state law — and they change more often than people realize. These bills affect real safety questions in schools, homes, and public places. Following them means you hear about a change before it becomes law, while there's still time to weigh in.
What an alert looks like

Example alert: “Gun owners with kids at home may need to lock up firearms” — a plain-language summary of bill SB 903 with its urgency, status, and next deadline.
A sample alert — the real ones will match what’s actually moving in Richmond.
