Interesting stats:
Gun death rates are similar in rural and urban environments.
But how they occur are different.
Homicides by gun are much more prevalent in urban areas per 100,000 people.
But suicide by gun is much more prevalent in rural areas per 100,000 people.
What surprised me was the fact that accidental deaths by gun are a lot more prevalent in rural areas per 100,000.
