Massachusetts and New York are about tied for being the state with the strictest gun control laws. In both of those states, one must have a permit just to own a handgun. However, Washington D.C., though not a state, has the strictest laws of all. They have an outright ban on handguns. You can have shotguns or rifles, but they have to be kept locked in a safe, without ammo. Also, they can't be semi-automatic.

Technically all are pro-gun because there isn't an absolute gun ban anywhere in the United States...yet. State laws and their provisions for the 2nd amendment vary and are typically less restrictive than Federal stipulations. 44 states have their own 2nd amendment based provisions in their state constitution. The remaining 6 that don't are California, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York. Knowing this information the question can evolve to which states have the least restrictive gun laws? I'd base the answer on which states I can carry in and those are Vermont, Arizona, Arkansas, and Wyoming.

Where is your stance on gun control?
Your question asks for an opinion. My opinion is that gun control laws are based on a flawed belief that a person who will break laws regarding murder, robbery and rape will obey another law that says they may not have a gun. There are already about 20,000 Federal, State, and local gun laws on the books in the US. Gun control laws frequently do little except keep law abiding people from being able to defend themselves.
