As of 2026, in the United States,  ** states had prohibited people with felony convictions from having a gun, while ** states barred firearm access by convicted domestic abusers. In comparison, owning a firearm was outlawed by ** states for certain people with serious mental illness, defined as those who were involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital or found to be a danger to themselves or others. Although federal law already restricts such mentally ill individuals, as well as most convicted domestic abusers, from obtaining firearms, having statewide legislation is still considered crucial to ensure that the policy is properly enforced.
