True. The US murder rate, when normalized for race, looks similar to many homogeneous countries with lower gun ownership.

You can't get much more homogeneous than Wyoming, and you won't find more murders/capita in any other state.

Gun deaths by states.

Gun defenders (wingers) like to pretend that we kill more people than other countries because we aren't homogeneous. Here are the 10 whitest states. Look where they are on the dead list.

In all, 10 states are more than 90 percent white, including the three northern New England states, West Virginia (12), Iowa (43), Wyoming (1), Idaho(16), Montana (6), Kentucky (13), and North Dakota(31).
