Also a trend: stronger laws in states with fewer incidents. Gee, how about that?

There’s also a big state/small state issue. Texas is 32 on the 2013 list at 10.5 (which is just under the national number), but it has several large metro areas. Ten people getting shot in California is going to move the per capita number less than 10 people in North Dakota.
