Firearm death rates vary widely between states, as do the strength of their firearm laws. The overall death rate from firearm injury in 2015 was 11.3 per 100 000; rates in the contiguous 48 states ranged from a low of 3.1 in Massachusetts to a high of 20.4 in Kentucky.¹ If the upward trend in deaths from firearm injury in the United States is to be reversed—there were 7.9% more deaths in 2015 than in 2014¹–then the death rates in each state must decrease.

各州之间的枪支死亡率差异很大，枪支法律的强度也各不相同。2015年枪支伤害总死亡率为每十万人11.3；连续48个州的失业率范围从马萨诸塞州的低点3.1到肯塔基州的高点20.4。¹如果要扭转美国因枪支伤害而死亡的上升趋势，即2015年的死亡人数比2014年多7.9％¹，那么每个州的死亡率必须降低。
