Editor's note: Why would the firearm death rate be 13 times greater in 2015-2016 between New Your/New Jersey and Oklahoma City? What are the factors in Oklahoma that would cause such a difference?
Oklahoma is a Red state and New York and New Jersey are Blue states. If I lived in Oklahoma I'd be in a bad mood too. Oklahoma, after all, gave us that cheat and liar, Scott Pruitt.
