Some of the criterion for a "bad" grade -
"prohibits litigation against gun manufacturers"
"does not allow the carrying of concealed weapons, but it does not allow cities and counties to enact ordinances to prevent gun violence or regulate secondary sales"
Of course the first one they list is: "No Child Access Prevention law" - The "Its for the children" sacred cow (no one dares to speak against the sacred cow)
