Hawaii has the lowest gun death rate in the country — Hawaii also requires permits with a mandatory 14 day waiting period, an age requirement of being 21 to buy a gun, and bans on assault weapons and magazines with more than 10 rounds.

Gun death rate includes suicide, if we go just by murder rate, Hawaii is a respectable # 8 and of the best 10, only 2 have strict gun laws, Hawaii and Rhode Island.

Why would you NOT include suicide and accidents? Why would you include homicides where no gun is used? This is a discussion of gun control legislation not "why does murder happen".

As for accidents: These are almost totally preventable--They almost always happen to the owner of the gun or a family member. If you choose not to own a gun, problem solved.

As far as suicide goes: It won't happen to you, unless you do it. Admittedly, there are individuals too dull to figure out how to complete the task without a gun. But any gun will work, so saving these dullards would require a 100% ban on guns, for everyone.
