After completing the rankings, we compared this ranking of states by gun regulations with the murder rates per 100,000 person population and created the following graph to see if we could find any correlation present. It appears that gun laws have little to no effect on the reduction of murders by firearms, holding other variables constant.
Methodology
Multiple variables were considered when compiling this ranking including the presence of laws requiring gun owners to register their guns, have a carry permit. The presence (or absence) of open carry laws, and Castle Doctrine were also considered among other variables.
