As last week's tragic shooting showed, guns remain an entrenched — and accessible — part of American life.
According to the Center for Disease Control, 33,636 people died due to gun-related causes in 2013, the year with the most recent data.
The national average is 10.6 gun deaths per 100,000 residents.
But that number varies widely from state to state.
The Kaiser Family Foundation assembled a table of statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on 2013 mortality rates from firearms in each state. Kaiser combined together various firearm-related causes of death, including assault by firearm, police shootings, suicide by firearm, and accidental discharges.
Some highlights:
• States with the highest rate include Alaska (19.8) and Lousiana (19.3). Alaska doesn't require residents to have a permit for carrying concealed weapons, while Louisiana does (but has fairly permissive gun laws otherwise).
• States with the lowest rate include Massachusetts (3.1) and Hawaii (2.6). Both states have some of the strictest gun control laws in the country.

Why not have different maps? This much ‘information’ muddies understanding.
I am looking at that yellow spot in Utah which stretches from where I-80 enters the state at the Wyoming border to the west desert border. What's going on here? A handful of old boys who've had too much to drink going out in the desert to target practice and getting a wee bit careless?
How can you draw conclusions as to gun control laws from this chart? Texas has fewer deaths per 100,000 people than the Rust Belt states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. It also has fewer deaths than any of the border states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, or the states bordering the border states. Texas gun laws are probably less restrictive or on a par with all these states.
Federal crime statistics are a rebuttal to the race-grievance industry lies

Interesting, given that most of the parishes shown in blue were *heavily* depopulated during 2006 - 2007.

Pssss, no one gets out of here alive.
Holy mackerel!
how about just assault by firearm.
That is pretty bloody close.
The near-direct correlation to gun violence and democrat-voting districts is far more than coincidence...
Thanks.
The national average is 10.6 gun deaths per 100,000 residents.

That means only .01% of the population dies from guns.
I bet the percentage that die from homosexual issues is much higher.
