The more common a thing is, the more it will be used. This might explain the lack of snowmobile-related deaths in Florida.

I'd love to see a study where the gun-murder rate is compared to the gun-ownership rate. But I don't get that. I get study after study which pretty much completely ignores every single crime NOT committed with a gun.

I'd also love a study of crime rates compared to, say, high-school graduation rates, drug arrests, % of people with 2-years or more of higher education, etc.

Not this. "States with more people have more deaths!" "States with more cars have more car-related deaths!" "States with more tornadoes have more tornado-related deaths!"
