STATES WITH THE MOST GUN NUTS
Here’s some numbers the NRA can’t spin;
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tracks the number of gun-related fatalities — including homicides, suicides, and accidents — in each state. The frequency of firearm-related deaths varies widely across the U.S. Firearms were associated with just 3.0 deaths per 100,000 residents in Rhode Island in 2011, the lowest gun-related fatality rate of any state. Louisiana, on the other hand, reported 18.8 firearm-related deaths per 100,000 residents, the most of any state.
24/7 Wall St. examined the 10 states with the highest gun-related death rates.
24/7 Wall St. discussed the CDC’s figures with John Roman, senior fellow at the Urban Institute, an economic and social policy think tank. Roman explained the probability of accidents, suicides, and domestic violence goes up in homes with guns. Americans are “three times more likely to have a suicide in a home with a gun than [they] are in a home without a gun.”
Federal law controls some aspects of firearm regulation, but for the most part, state legislatures choose to what extent firearms are governed. None of the states with the most gun violence require permits to purchase rifles, shotguns, or handguns. Gun owners are also not required to register their weapons in any of these states. Meanwhile, most of the states with the lowest rates of gun deaths require a permit to purchase a handgun.

Dude! Sounds like the “nut” word hit a button with you? Maybe rather than going on a rant you could read the piece I posted and educate yourself. That’s what sane people do.
You mean the law abiding Americans who legally own a gun. The CDC does not differentiate between gun use for self defence or for crime. Do more thorough research before posting lies. We’re all Americans with a common enemy and law-abiding gun owners are not your enemy.
The key word (in case you missed it) is “violence” which includes suicide. Who is the “common” enemy, by the way?
