What it does
US Gun Policy explains enacted firearm law and reported Supreme Court holdings in neutral language. Every factual claim on the subject pages cites a statute, public law, or opinion. The site does not recommend legislation. It does not publish crime, injury, or ownership statistics. It does not score states. For the law itself, the primary sources are the United States Code, the public laws on govinfo.gov, the Supreme Court’s opinions, and the state codes linked from the state page.
Pages
- Overview — what the site is, the Second Amendment text, and how federal and state law sit together.
- Federal law — National Firearms Act, Gun Control Act, Brady Act, and Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, including the 2025 tax amendment and ATF’s October 9, 2026 enforcement guidance, labeled as guidance.
- State law — categories of state statutes and official links. Not a 50-state legal scorecard.
- Supreme Court cases — holdings quoted from the opinions and syllabi.
- Sources and methodology — what counts, what is omitted, and how to send a correction.
- llms.txt, agents.txt, ai.txt, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml.
