I believe they got the numbers upside down.

Also says that is all deaths by gun, excluding LEO shootings, so suicides, hunting accidents, etc., are included.
This is just based on state population. No surprise that Alaska tops the chart. Low population and lots of firearm use. I am betting most as hunting accidents and suicides.

1. What were the rates before enactment of the gun laws?
2. What else, if anything, changed besides the gun laws?
3. Crime and gun murders have trended down for some time, IIRC. Probably much more so in many states with large urban centers due to better policing, among other things. And, of course, people don't have to rob for a living because the gov't will give you everything you need.

It's just another cooked set of stats from liberal crap-weasels. Note the use of "gun-related deaths" which means, for the most part, suicides(usually 60-70 percent of "gun-related" deaths). This is why Wyoming, Vermont, and other low-crime/no-gun law states are on the high end of the chart. Wyoming had a homicide rate of 1.4, less than a quarter of maryland's. The good news is that a quick glance at such an obviously inverted and perverted set of stats lets anyone with a lick of common sense know it's a left wing extremist's fairy tale.
and this is why "they" are winning the media battles. 30 second sound bites without context are very appealing to the masses. I don't know the answers in how to combat the overwhelming shallowness of so many.
