Did the Yahoo! story on the ten safest States mention any of this?

The Yahoo! story on the ten safest States listed the 10 safest States and linked to a companion story about the 10 most dangerous but I didn't see comparisons between the two sets of States.

Is anyone looking at ways the worst States could emulate the best? Compared to the 10 most violent States, the 10 safest, on average:

> Have 13% lower State/local taxation

> Voted 15% more Republican in 2014

> Have 36% less "sensible gun control" (Based on scores by the Brady Campaign)

> Have 18% more conservatives per-capita (Poll responders self-identifying as conservative)

> Have 12% fewer registered Democrats per-capita

> Are 12% more gun-owner friendly (Based on scores by Guns & Ammo Magazine staff)

> Elected 28% fewer Democrats over time

> Have 21% more guns per-person

Are "Democrat Moms Demanding Action" recommending more people buy guns? Are they lobbying to repeal States' "gun-control" laws? Are they campaigning against Democrats?

No, they're actually demanding the safest States emulate the deadliest ones and lobbying D.C. to FORCE them to do it. Is that due to ignorance, mental illness or evil?

    The Wall Street Journal has an article about the 10 best and worst states to live in based on quality of life. Google it. 9 of the 10 worst states are both republican governed and state legislature.

    There are always extenuating circumstances.
