5 Slide Mini-Series Edition #3: Homicide Deaths in Relation to Household Gun Ownership Rates

This edition of our Gun Death Series focuses on homicides.  Similar to suicides, the degree to which guns exist in a community are strongly correlated with the rate of homicide deaths.  The states with the highest proportion of household gun ownership have a 78% higher rate of firearm homicides than the states in the lowest quartile of household gun ownership.
