Kansas, Missouri, the US and gun deaths

From the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence on Facebook comes the following article and chart:

How Many Gun Deaths Are There In Your State?

Then, after looking below, note Missouri is HIGH on the list, in the top 1/2 at number 14.  Kansas, while still lower, is also high, at position 23.  And check out next door neighbor Iowa, at near bottom at 43.  People say there's so much killing going on in Chicago yet Illinois comes in down at 37.

Interesting stuff.

But pitiful, too.

Notice, also, that it's the "Red", Republican, Right Wing states where most of the killing occurs.

Coincidence?

You can bet it's not.
