What would Barry say? "If I had a son...he look like..." Likely just a coincidence.

"Each state's peace index score was determined by analyzing its homicide, violent crime, policing, and prison rates, as well as by the availability of guns among its residents." So...is availability of guns....a positive or a negative?

Where’d the article go? I get an “article not found” message when I click on the link.

Among regions, the Northeast was considered the most peaceful area with the country's lowest homicide, violent crime, and prison rates. It was followed by the Midwest, West, and lastly, the South, which had the highest rates of gun ownership.
No agendas here. /s
I see they listed Detroit as the most violent but I suspect they aren't making a distinction between violent crime and violent defense. (Self defense shootings in Detroit are skyrocketing) I'd be interested in a comparison between Detroit and Chicago.

Notice the least peaceful have a very high number (in most cases a majority) of a certain demographic. Just saying. Coincidence?

From their website...
The USPI measures peacefulness according to five indicators:
The number of homicides,
Number of violent crimes,
The incarceration rate,
Number of police employees and
The availability of small arms.
How utterly useless.

10 most peaceful states:
Maine
It is not peaceful for the lobsters and pine trees...
Vermont
When your state is one big nudist resort (nudity is not ILLEGAL), where can you keep your guns??
New Hampshire
What a nice place to relax....
Really I'm surprised that 4 of the New England States are in the top 10. Rural states are safer but the surprising one is Rhode Island...

I just love these idiotic research results. It all anti-gun, anti-people all the time. My Tennessee Home is quite peaceful.
This is an agenda poll.
