The top 5 states with per capita gun violence are all run by Republicans.
#5 Arkansas 16.8 per 100K
#4 Alabama 17.8 per 100K
#3 Mississippi 17.8 per 100K
#2 Louisiana 19.3 per 100K
#1 Alaska 19.8 per 100K
The national average per 100k is 12.21.
State with the lowest? Hawaii. 2.6 per 100K. They also have very strict gun laws. Turns out, if you can control the flow of guns from less regulated states gun laws do work!
