In bold - I disagree with you because states with gun friendly laws won't make firearm deaths so lower, look at Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina.
If California, New Jersey, Illinois and New York have high numbers in ratio than all states so your argument will be reasonable, but it didn't happen. It means - it hasn't make anything to lower, even if they are gun friendly state like Louisiana.
More gun laws, more gun deaths; less gun laws, less gun deaths are misconception because the studies don't put group about whichever is high, or low.
the reason why you're confused is because you're not thinking deep enough when you are looking at the pictures.
most gun crimes seem to occur at major metropolitan areas including gun-restrictive areas with high population density so that's why you're seeing gun-friendly states showing higher incidents which appears to contradicts with my statement when in fact my statement is actually correct.
something I learned from a wise man at conference - it's very cheap to collect the data but it's very expensive to interpret the data.
