Higher rates of ownership do not lead to higher rates of gun-related deaths in the US. The areas with the lowest rates of gun related deaths are, perhaps quixotically, areas with high rates of ownership and nominal enforcement of lax gun laws. The highest rates of gun related deaths are recorded in low ownership areas with strict gun laws and draconian enforcement.
Don;t get me wrong, individuals in those high rate areas are complicit in the problem - they're the pipeline for straw purchases that fuel the black market.
