Guns and Money

So, apparently money does buy happiness. Unfortunately it's on a log scale.
Do you like things which are difficult to parse? Try this Washington Post table on gun violence. The column that's obviously missing is the total homicides per capita. Plus, to my eye (which does not automatically apply any sort of standard deviation analysis) there's no correlation that can be drawn. The numbers are just all over the place.
Why O! Why can't we get real statistics with, you know, actual analysis?
(Also, is Puerto Rico in the United States or not?)
Here, then, is a squirrel.
