This is an image portraying an estimation of the number of deaths that have occurred in each state. Accidents, suicides, self-defence as well as cases of murder are included in these statistics. Also, it is perhaps unsurprising to notice that the states with tighter gun control laws tend to be the states that have far less deaths. For example, Arizona has one of the highest death rates which is certainly connected by the fact it is only one of three states that enables its citizens to bear concealed weapons without a permit. In contrast, states such as New York have fairly low figures due to the regulations including the New York SAFE Act. With these figures in mind, recent events of gun shootings would perhaps increase the amount of deaths per 100,000.
