Well.....how do you address the fact that there are statistically far more gun deaths in states with less restrictive gun laws?

@originnone Yup, those strict gun laws in illinois sure are helping, right?

@sunsporter1649 Look at the statistics across the board of all the states; what I'm saying is true. It's very eye opening. I'm asking what your thoughts are, not whether there is one exception....

@originnone What stats are you using? According to World Population Review:
SOURCE: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/strictest-gun-laws-by-state
If you rank those by Gun Deaths and look at the ranking of gun laws. Then Mississippi has the most lenient gunlaws and is ranked 50th. But they are number 1 with gun deaths. Alabama ranked second place with the highest gun deaths, and 38th when it comes to how lenient their laws are. Like the top 10 of highest gun deaths, has 4 states that are in the 40s when it comes to how lenient their laws are, 3 states that rank in the 30s and the number 50 spot. The only two anomalies are Nevada and New Mexico.
And if you look at the top 10 states with the least deaths by firearms... well, they have the 1st, 2nd, 3th, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 13th and 19th spot when it comes to restricting Guns. Meaning... that they have the least lenient gun laws. The first state ranked in the 30ths when it comes to lenient gun laws is Maine, and it has the 13th spot when it comes to least gun deaths.
... So yeah... What numbers are you using?
The states with the most lenient gun laws are New Hampshire, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Texas, Montana, West Virginia, Alabama, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alaska, Kansas, South Dakota, Arizona, Kentucky, Missouri, Idaho, Wyoming, and Mississippi.

@Kwek00 I don't recall where I got my data, but I guess I'm mistaken.
