This gets boring after 10-20 years

Media jumps on Violence Policy Center's proclamation that certain States have high gun death rates.

In this article, it's Wyoming. "Study: Wyoming among highest for state gun death rates," using 2011 data.

Nevermind that that Wyoming was tied for the tenth lowest murder rate in the country, at 2.4, compared to New York at 3.5, New Jersey at 4.4, and California at 5.0 (ranked No. 1 by Brady Campaign).

Masters of deception. I suppose if they were clever enough, they could find a correlation between swimming pool death rates and the rate of swimming pool ownership by state.

If they cared about saving the life of even ONE CHILD, they would fill in the deadly pool in their back yard. They won't,though.

Masters of confusing correlation with causation. It's the basis of almost all their propaganda.

According to their pretzel logic, since motorcycle helmets are found at most motorcycle accidents, helmets must be outlawed because they must be causing the accidents.

Is there a relationship between those ratings and the part of each State's population which is Black?
