Which States Have The Most Gun Violence?

Texas didn't even make it into the top ten? Perry is going to be so pissed.

Guns and poverty, what a way to go, or get sent there in this case.

Thank you for doing this crucial research. Can you further drive the point home by posting some sort of evidence that will prove to the conservatards beyond all doubt that the people who commit these acts of gun violence are the ones who go out and vote for Wrongpublican gun nut candidates? I'd do it, but you're on a roll here and I don't want to steal your thundyr.

Number 9 on that list would laugh at you if you called them conservative, but thanks for displaying your ignorance.

That said, rural states are less able to hide gun deaths behind statistics because of their lower population. There are actually cities, mostly in states with strict gun control laws, that have higher murder rates than entire countries.

I guess that means you can stop blaming conservatives, who generally avoid large cities because of all the progressives in them.
 
From the OP linked source.

Suicide is the leading cause of gun-related deaths across the nation in recent years. Of the 32,351 firearm deaths in 2011, nearly 20,000 were suicides. In all but one state with the most gun-related deaths, suicide accounted for the majority of fatalities. Six states — Alaska, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Montana, Arkansas, and New Mexico — reported more than 10.0 firearm-related suicides per 100,000 residents, versus the national rate of 6.2.

Texas didn't make it into the top ten because we take violent criminals off the street and into a custodial arrangement to prevent them from harming themselves and others. They get a long time to think about how they will be different the next time they are free men and women without attempting to take someone else's life because they're having a bad day. Governor Perry is likely happy about it.

So when in Texas, keep in mind that:

the United States has seen a long-term decline in crime, with firearms offences seeing a steeper fall than other crimes......California had the highest number of gun murders last year - 1,790, which is 68% of all murders that year and equivalent to 3.25 per 100,000 people in the state. Big as that figure is, it's still down by 3% on the previous year.
