Question for anti gun people? home defense?

[Littleman]

@septimus

I’m a slow learner. I clicked another Littleman cite. It won’t happen again.

I got suspicious when he mentioned the #3 state in gun ownership. Why not #1? Or the #35 in suicides. Wouldn’t #49 and #50 prove his point better? Can you spell cherry-pick?

Using Littleman’s own cite the top 15 states for suicides are

1. Montana — 26
2. Alaska — 25.4
3. Wyoming — 25.2
4. New Mexico — 22.5
5. Utah — 21.8
6. Nevada — 21.4
7. Idaho — 21.3
8. Oklahoma — 20.9
9. Colorado — 20.5
10. South Dakota — 20.5
11. West Virginia — 19.5
12. North Dakota — 19
13. Missouri — 18.3
14. Arkansas — 18.2
15. Kansas — 17.9
    No point in checking these states for gun ownership! With few exceptions these are gun-loving Trump-voting states every one.
    If we say D.C. is not a state, the bottom ten are
16. Hawaii — 12
17. Delaware — 11.5
18. Rhode Island — 11.1
19. Illinois — 10.7
20. California — 10.5
21. Connecticut — 10
22. Maryland — 9.3
23. Massachusetts — 8.7
24. New York — 8.1
25. New Jersey — 7.2
    Mostly Democratic gun-grabbing states!

@ Littleman — I wouldn’t bother hunting for “cites” in future. Expect them to be ignored.

Hey look at that, no consistent correlation to suicides, just as I said
