Alabama had third-highest rate of gun deaths in 2013, gun control advocacy group reports [View all]
We're number three! We're number three! Alabama! Alabama! Won't stop til we're number ONE!
"Alabama, where a firearm is present in more than half the state's households, had the third highest rate of firearm-related deaths in the nation in 2013, according to a report from a gun control advocacy group."
This is from the VPC (https://www.vpc.org/) so the gun nuts will immediately dismiss it as biased and totally false. See, even if the data comes from the CDC or the FBI, once a gun safety group touches it all the data becomes flawed. Go figure. Kinda' flies in the face of 'more guns make us safer'.
