When you cherry pick the way you look at the data, sometimes you can make it say what you want.
When you normalize gun deaths by state, with gun ownership by state (which is the correct way to look at it if you want to know if guns are the cause of gun deaths), deaths are very low in the Dakotas.

Of course you don't. That would mean conservatives have a point, and you'll never, ever concede that.
Parents who are engaged with their kids and who give a sh*t about their kids, are aware of whether or not their kids, however they got there, are at the point of snapping.
