We have went up Joe, we were 15th a few years ago. You got to Love Texas!... Don't have to, don't want to, can't make me go to TEXAS!.. Check this out! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States_by_state Don't know where ya heard that Joe, but it might be one of those urban legends. LOLDoes anyone know where Arizona is in comparison to the rest of the nation in hand gun deaths or I guess just murders? Im really curious, its actually really funny that the states with strict hand gun control have more murders. Nobody is going to try and jack the average joe in PHX because this guy has a heater in his pants, LEGALLY! LAWL
And a couple of the states with some of the toughest/most restirctive gun laws are at the top (NY/CA)........NJ should be higher, but they probably dispose of a lot of the bodies in the Atlantic...so they are never recovered.....:rofl:As I would expect, the highest are those with the largest populations; the lowest are those with the least populations. Guns don't kill people -- people kill people.
Any way you slice the pie, we're up toward the top....Gun homicidesOnly 10 people live in North Dakota
I could make some guesses about wild and woolly North Dakota, but what about 46.2 in New Hampshire?Yeah Kenny...but if you look at the overall statistics....people will find other ways to kill someone....what's with "Other" for North Dakota....they don't believe in using knives???
Maple syrup overdose; massive sugar rush.What about 46.2 in New Hampshire?
