I have an idea for a research paper on the conditions that encourage the passage of gun laws, either those that restrict gun rights or those that enable them (like CCW), on the state level.
What I need is a list of gun laws (good ones and bad ones) and the years they were passed for each state. For my purposes, if it only needed one signature from the governor, I'm considering it as one law.
I've been to the NRA website and it's a good start, but it doesn't list laws that were later repealed; plus it lists the sections of the state code, not necessarily the bills that instituted them. (A single bill can modify language in several sections of a state code, for example.) Plus, some states don't list the references.
Does anyone know where I can look?
