In graph form the states thing looks like this.

 

Hell if it wasn't so spread out if anything the numbers would point to it reducing crime.

Either way.  Within population is much more accurate then the kind of stats your trying to use Highway.

Thats not a good statistic either.  There is a difference between Wyoming where many people own hunting rifles and live in rural areas, as opposed to major cities where gun ownership isn't as popular and crime is up.  You simply cant compare a state like Rhode Island to Montana.

I agree. 

However. it's far more accurate then Highwaystar's study.   Though similar states with different gun control laws are similar.

Both are fairly dubious though... since this also has some confounding variabeles.

Edit: I like your attempt at a ninja edit to make it looks like you didn't admit that highwaystars stats were bad though.
