now click on 'most educated' graph and it almost looks like the reverse. The exceptions seem to be that states with the most amount of gun control end up with more murder per capita than you would expect from the inverse of the 'most educated graph'. For example, florida is extremely lenient in gun control and its a good deal below the national avergae in murder per capita...but pretty low on the educated per capita.

it is not thoroughly actual. You do understand that maximum the blue states have lots bigger inhabitants densities? it is precisely why it' averages out bigger in blue states. yet once you investigate crime according to one hundred,000 human beings you will see that it is not all merely blue states. Alabama and Louisiana have the optimum homicide expenditures interior the country. i think of the nationwide difficulty-free is around 3 according to one hundred,000 and Alabama and Louisiana have like 7-9. Google US homicide expenditures with the help of state and additionally you will see it, additionally investigate church attendance expenditures. Alabama and Louisiana are nicely above the nationwide difficulty-free on church too, at fifty 5% attendance. With that being pronounced might or not it is undemanding for me to declare that Christians are murderers?
