State-by-state standings on deaths from gunfire form a striking contrast between Republican- and Democratic-led states as one reality becomes ever more clear: The stronger Republican control of a particular state, the more deadly gunfire that state will see.Elias: What would a decisive vote for Trump say about California’s GOP?

New York is almost as dominated by the Democratic Party as California, which was the eighth-safest state from gunfire deaths, at just 8.5 per 100,000. These statistics come from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . Of the 10 safest states, all are consistently blue in presidential elections. Meanwhile, the 10 states with the highest gun death rates all are dominated by Republicans, except No. 7 New Mexico, at 22.7 gun deaths per 100,000.

Of DeSantis and Newsom, former Arizona Congressmember Gabby Giffords, who survived a would-be assassin’s gunshot to her head, said this: “One governor had the courage to stand up to the gun lobby … the other is Ron DeSantis.” Lower courts in California and a few other places have ruled that the case does not apply in the Golden State and several other locales whose concealed carry laws are worded differently from New York’s. All that shooting all that down would take, though, is a few words from the high court’s 6-3 conservative majority.
