Guns do kill

Without going into the entire state rankings which do show a connection between gun ownership and death rates per 100,000 of the population, it does show the more guns, the more deaths.
NYS is low on the gun ownership and gun related deaths. About 18% of the homes in NYS have at least one (1) gun and has a gun related death rate at about 5.1 per 100,000.
Alaska has about 58% of the homes having at least one (1) gun and a gun related death rate of about 57,8 per 100,000.
Florida has about 24.5% of the homes with at least one gun and has a gun related death rate of 24.5% per 100,000.
I could go on but why bother when statistics show that on statewide averages, the more homes with guns, the more gun related deaths.
