For gun deaths, the "Red" states are the deadliest.

Gun Deaths per 100,000 Population

Alaska 20.4
Louisiana 19.2
Alabama 16.2
Mississippi 16.1
Wyoming 15.6
Montana 15.4
New Mexico* 14.9
Arizona 14.6
Nevada* 14.5
Arkansas 14.4

The “leading states,� in terms of gun deaths per 100,000 residents,
except for New Mexico and Nevada, were carried by the Republicans in the
2012 presidential race. All the rest of the states in the top 20 were
carried by the Republican candidate.

I don't have the time right now but it might be interesting to drill
down on what those deaths were and where they occurred.
My first question is how many were suicides. 6 months of winter will
do that to you ;-)
The next question in the southern states is how many were in the big
cities.



80% of Alaska gun deaths are suicide. Also notice the per capita are
sparsely populated states.
