Louisiana vs. Massachusetts: Gun Violence (2024)
Louisiana has one of the highest firearm death rates in America, while Massachusetts has one of the lowest. According to Johns Hopkins’ analysis of finalized CDC data for 2024, Louisiana’s firearm death rate was approximately six times Massachusetts’ rate. Center for Gun Violence Solutions +2
Louisiana
22.3
Gun deaths per 100,000 residents
Massachusetts
3.9
Gun deaths per 100,000 residents
Side-by-side comparison
2024 measure Louisiana Massachusetts
Total gun deaths 1,031 287
Firearm homicides 562 96
Firearm suicides 443 184
Firearm deaths, ages 1–17 70 13
Gun homicide rate per 100,000 12.2 1.3
Gun suicide rate per 100,000 9.6 2.5
Center for Gun Violence Solutions +3
The most striking differences
* Gun homicide: Louisiana’s rate was approximately 9.4 times Massachusetts’ rate.
* Gun suicide: Louisiana’s rate was approximately 3.8 times Massachusetts’ rate.
* Children: Louisiana recorded 70 firearm deaths among ages 1–17, compared with 13 in Massachusetts.
* National standing: Louisiana had the second-highest firearm homicide rate nationally; Massachusetts had the second-lowest overall firearm death rate. Center for Gun Violence Solutions +1
Bottom line
The homicide comparison is particularly revealing. Massachusetts isn’t simply benefiting from fewer firearm suicides. The risk of dying in a firearm homicide is dramatically lower than in Louisiana, based on statewide population-adjusted mortality rates.
These differences are substantial, although the statistics alone cannot tell us how much is attributable to gun laws, poverty, urban conditions, policing, or other factors.
You can compare the original reports directly: Johns Hopkins Louisiana?? and Johns Hopkins Massachusetts??.

This is my exact take on the issue. You nailed the points exactly. Get off your arse and do what it takes to be a champion.

With the prep materials that are available for the CPA exam, you will have time if you want to find the time. Nick Saban would give you an earful. If you wanna do what you’re doing become a CPA and quit putting it off. I understand some people are scared of success. If that’s your case just continue to put off the CPA.

It’s the lack of control of access of a database, showing all my movements that gives me the problem. The data needs to be maintained by a third-party and only access through warrants or through some other emergency procedure.

re: Question for the socialists/Democrats.

You are starting from the assumption that anyone who supports a social program must be lazy, unwilling to work, or looking for free handouts. That is not an honest way to understand what most of these voters believe.
Most Americans who support policies associated with democratic socialism are not asking the government to abolish private property, eliminate businesses, or take over the entire economy. They usually support a mixed economy: private enterprise and capitalism, combined with public programs such as Social Security, Medicare, public schools, roads, police, fire departments, and unemployment insurance.
You can disagree with Medicare for All, higher taxes, stronger unions, tuition assistance, or expanded welfare programs without assuming that everyone supporting them is stupid or lazy. Many of them work, pay taxes, and simply believe government should provide a stronger safety net and place more limits on concentrated corporate power.
Capitalism has produced enormous innovation and prosperity, but completely unregulated capitalism has also produced monopolies, exploitation, financial crises, unsafe workplaces, and severe inequality. Socialism in its fully centralized form has generally performed poorly and often become authoritarian. That is why nearly every successful modern economy uses some combination of markets, regulation, and social programs.
I would rather debate the actual proposals, their costs, their incentives, and whether they work than insult millions of people and pretend they all want something for nothing. You may still conclude that Bernie Sanders or AOC is wrong, but understanding their supporters requires addressing what they actually believe rather than the most insulting caricature of it

JW has the same stance as MAGA on social issues. Except they’re more likely to get a balanced budget through Congress.
