In fact, 6 of the 10 worst places on Earth for gun-related deaths are either U.S. territories or states: Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama have gun death rates even higherthan in countries the media and people online like to label as violent cesspools. Namely, those three states have more gun-related deaths than Haiti and Mexico. Mississippi has a gun death rate of 28.5 deaths per year per 100,000 people. According to the Commonwealth Fund, that’s almost double the firearm death rate in Haiti, where gang wars push people to starvation.

This is your final point you made “Any surprise that poverty begets violence in our poorest state?”. It would seem that Haitians are poor and Mississippi folks are poor. Both are experiencing violence. Attacking poverty is a good way to go in lowering violence. I would like to add on lowering the amount of guns floating around in a poor community is not a bad idea either. Both can be done at the same time.
This is a great point correlating gun access with gun violence. It shows that access to firearms is positively correlated with deaths by firearm
