Maybe because Massachusetts is ranked #1 in mental health care? Oh that's right, we aren't supposed to connect mental health to the gun control issue.

or maybe it's because Mass is top 3rd of the country for unemployment?

or maybe it's the rather low Suicide rate in Mass, since that gets lumped into all the stats about gun violence.

one thing I noticed is that if you bounce the Suicide by state against the Unemployment by state, the States with the highest unemployment seem to be in the states with the highest suicide rates.
so maybe if we looked at the more socio-economic issues instead of an inanimate object, maybe we can figure something out.
