Gun Deaths per State

[hurleyjd]

Any one know how the states stack up in deaths per 100,000 people. Like who is on the top and who is on the bottom.

Gotta believe Illinois ranks pretty high up there.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here.

Not really trying to make any point at all trying to show how states may rate.

Good place to look. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosm ... irearm.htm

If you already knew where to look why did you start a thread other than to rabble rouse?

Just trying to show where information can be found if you are trying to broaden your knowledge of what goes on in the USA.

Then why didn't you simply start your thread in that fashion?

Btw, everyone here is familiar with Google.

Moral of the story is here in the South (Alaska might get a proxy membership) you better act right or you get your azz shot.

Why not look beyond state boundaries? Find a chart that breaks it down by city, rural vs populated, race, religion, lifestyle, drug use, dependency on welfare, financial status, or even what type of music a person listens to. Find the commonality by something other than a state line.

I cross referenced state high school graduation rates with firearm mortality rates to see if there was a link to education
and found no correlation.

in example
1. Iowa in high school graduation rate.... low firearm mortality
4. Alabama H.S. grad rate.... yet... high firearm mortality
Minnesota below average H.S. grad rate.... yet... low firearm morality

On a side note Arkansas is a leader in efficiency in education getting the most bang for the buck with above average
graduation rates and well below national average on total $ spent per student

Any reason you left out the actual ranking for Minnesota in H.S. grad rate?

Yes speed and embarrassment.
I didn't want to take the time to actually count it out as the chart was alphabetical not ranked.
Embarrassed to realize how far my state has fallen... in my day we were always in the top 5-10 in education.
Now we are 4th in just our 5 state area... pretty embarrassing to be behind Wisconsin in anything other than Cheese.

How about by gender?

I like cheese.

I'm not sure graduation rate measures anything anymore. They give diplomas away.

Whatever is relevant. Seems to me that State boundaries have little meaning since most laws are dictated from D.C.
