Hawaii, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Jersey. Rhode Island?!?!? RI has less people than a medium size city! Not exactly a state large enough for such studies to arive at an accurate conclusion.
And how many people live in Hawaii?
Rhode Island also has a higher murder rate than Vermont similar (sized populations). I further question how they determined the gunownership rates. This study directly contradicts John Lott's conclusions so I really do question the statistics and even the raw numbers. as to the quatity of murders.
Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
Question? What percentage minorities used the gun...Bet know will tell. RI is probably 60% black
