"The rate of gun deaths is negatively correlated with states that ban assault weapons, require trigger locks, and mandate safe storage requirements for guns."

Meaning: the more restrictive a state is about guns, the less deaths by gun.

Not at all surprising, and still the gun freedom advocates will continue to ignore this obvious, well-documented, many state replicated fact.
