Are they more accurate, less moral, or prevented by state law from saving lives?

Mississippi is a constitutional carry state allowing both open and concealed carry without a permit for law-abiding adults 21 and older
(18+ for active-duty military). No license is required to carry a loaded firearm openly or concealed within the state.
Its death per-capita rate is 29.4.

Massachusetts requires a state-issued License to Carry (LTC) for both concealed and open carry of handguns.
There is no permitless carry, and out-of-state permits are not recognized.

Its death-per-capita rate is 3.7.


Firearm laws are imposed primarily by states upon cities, of course. 43 states have what are known as “preemption” laws, prohibiting
local governments from enacting gun regulations that are stricter than those passed by state legislatures.

If Oklahoma City were to seek to reduce its high rate of gun deaths to the level of of Boston by enacting and enforcing less permissive laws, the State of Oklahoma would prevent it.

Now run the numbers for deaths from gun crimes. And split it up by race.

So often??? I don't think so.
Why are there so many shooting deaths in Blue populated states??

They don't.

People in blue cities, however, kill each other at a rate that would make Genghis Khan blush.

This has to do with how many deaths there are by firearms, as it relates to population.

Not how often a shooting takes place. for example, using 2023, there were 2452 shootings, just in Chicago....in Mississippi, there entire state, 844. So, it happens far more often in Chicago, a blue city, in a blue state, then then in the entire state of MS. But because there are so many more people in Chicago the rate, is lower.
