It just talks about "gun deaths" and so-called "gun violence". It doesn't distinguish gun deaths by categories:
Firearms-related deaths attributed to:
1. criminal or terrorist acts
2. insanity
3. suicide
4. law enforcement operations
5. lawful self-defense or defense of others
6. unintended discharges
7. firearms malfunctions, ammo defects
8. hunting accidents
9. state executions by firing squad
10. military operations/acts of war
11. rioting/civil unrest
12. other gun-related fatalities
I do believe violent/threatening criminal activity is more greatly deterred in states with few if any gun restrictions. Certainly, California, Illinois, Washington, DC and New York has a lot more violent crime per capita than Idaho, Mississippi, Montana or Oklahoma. I would be scared chitless to even dream about holding up a bank or a liquor store in a Red pro-gun state.
