The map of the United States is a state-by-state comparison of gun ownership and gun deaths. Most of the states with the highest rates of gun deaths (shockingly!) have the highest gun ownership rates. Hawaii has the lowest gun ownership rate and second lowest gun homicide rate. (Massachusetts has the lowest gun homicide rate and third lowest gun ownership rate) Virtually every state (New Jersey included) with the lowest gun ownership rate has the lowest firearm death rates (Washington DC, which is not a state, bucks the trend). Is this really a surprising revelation? I don't think the map distinguishes justifiable from criminal deaths; but even if it doesn't, is there reason to believe many of the net total gun deaths are legal as opposed to illegal? http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/interactive/2012/07/2012726141159587596.html

If there was a high homicide rate where I lived the last thing I would want is more gun control, I'd want to get a gun myself. I don't see how you one make the affirmative allegation that A causes B when B could also be said to cause A.
In other words, a high homicide rate could cause people to buy more guns for protection. One can't just look at a simple correlation and make baseless conclusions without empirical evidence.

Gun deaths or homicides, it doesn't matter. If a bunch of people are getting shot I'm going to want a gun myself for protection.

the thing i love about guns, other than hunting, is that if everybody in the entire world had guns. the people who use guns for evil would be shot and killed by the righteous man. if nobody was allowed to have guns. only criminals and police who would arrive after the damage has been done would have guns.
