Here’s some interesting data analysis that landed in our inbox: WalletHub has issued a report on U.S. states most dependent on the gun industry, using 16 key metrics.

Of course, this is only part of the conversation.
Let’s not forget about all the illegally owned guns out there. Wilmington still has too much gun violence, even with the rate of shootings decreasing (so far) in 2018. We’ll need to reconcile that with data that says Delaware should theoretically have very little gun violence before popping any bottles.
