Gun violence in the United States by state – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gun murder rates in states where people are heavily armed are much lower than the low gun ownership states.
The ten lowest gun ownership states average 3.9 gun murders per 10,000 people. The ten highest gun ownership states average about half that at 2.0 murders per 10,000 people.
The evidence is unequivocal that criminals are deterred by guns.
I lived in Wyoming for a number of years and you can bet that the gun owners in Wyoming know how to use, and respect, the guns they own. They are taught gun safety at an early age.
