IronSight structures firearms regulation across every US state into a clear, searchable landscape. Carry laws, purchase requirements, criminal penalties, red flag orders, assault weapon bans — sourced directly from official statutory codes.
The regulatory landscape is free. Custom analysis is what we charge for.
FFLs operating across state lines need to track regulatory differences daily. Transfer rules, dealer licensing, record-keeping requirements — every state is different. IronSight provides structured, citable statutory references.
Criminal defense lawyers handling firearms cases need to know the exact statutory landscape. Penalty structures, prohibited persons definitions, and carry law exceptions vary dramatically by state.
Private security companies, armed guard services, and corporate security teams operating across state lines. Licensing, carry permissions, and use-of-force provisions differ in every jurisdiction.
Responsible gun owners traveling across state lines need to understand where their carry permit is valid, what restrictions apply, and what happens if they cross the wrong border with the wrong configuration.
Reporters covering gun legislation, academic researchers studying firearms policy, think tanks producing policy analysis. IronSight provides structured, citable data across all 50 states.
People drafting or amending firearms laws need to see how other states handle it. Red flag provisions, assault weapon definitions, preemption frameworks — data-driven lawmaking.
Organizations working to reduce gun violence need data to support evidence-based policy. Which states have red flag laws? Which have universal background checks? ClearSight provides the structured evidence.
Understanding firearm restrictions for domestic violence offenders and respondents is critical for safety planning. Every state handles this differently. The data should be accessible.

Every state's firearms regulatory framework evaluated against six dimensions of justice drawn from the Summa Theologiae. Non-partisan. Rigorous. Every law gets its strongest defense before evaluation.
The six dimensions of justice drawn from Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologiae. Each state's framework is evaluated against these criteria before a score is assigned.
