11 Year CDC Study On Gun Deaths

http://www.latimes.com/science/scien...918-story.html

Blacks die at double the rate of whites.

"California was singled out in the study for having “the most marked reduction” in the rate of gun deaths. The researchers said this could be the result of tough antigun laws, including eight aimed at preventing gun trafficking. They noted that the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence ranked California top among all states for its laws on background checks, waiting periods, restrictions on who may own a gun and consumer and child safety. (California also benefited from a reduction in homicides of all sorts, with the overall homicide rate falling 25.4% between 2001 and 2010.)"
