I find it kind of ironic that the states with the most gun-violence, are in the states with the most - God-fearing, Muslim-hating, Republican-leaning, Gay bashing people in the country. Oh, and while we've had an increase of gun-violence in the state of Texas over the last several months - the state is huge, so that's why its suprisingly yellow.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) and its allies in Congress frequently claim that gun violence is highest in places with the toughest crime laws. But a new study
from the Center for American Progress (CAP) suggests something closer
to the opposite is true — the states with laxer gun laws tend to be the
ones contributing the highest shares of national gun deaths and
injuries. [America Under The Gun]

Being a Texan, I'm personally shocked that we're actually not the best at something, especially gun violence. How shameful. You rednecks in the most rural parts of the lone star state better start shooting each other up already or we're gonna start looking bad. Oklahoma has already beaten us for Christ's sake. OKLAHOMA. Are you kidding me?!!
