Since those at the top of the list are pretty much without a lot of large bodies of water, they don’t have as many opportunities for tragic boating accidents.
I don’t find your numbers credible.
Wyoming may be the highest per capita, but there is no way that Texas has only 12.8 guns per 1,000 population. I’m really pressed to think of a family I know who does not own one or more.
“It is estimated that Texans own around 51 million firearms.”

Wiki estimated TX population Est. 2014 26,956,958
So that would be slightly less than 2 per every man, woman & child in the state.
Washington DC #2. LOL!
Yeah, these are reliable stats......LOL!
