Across the United States of America, gun control is always a hot button issue among the public. Several Americans across the country firmly believe that owning firearms is a right of theirs that is protected by the Second Amendment of the Constitution.

The ten states that top the list with the highest homicide rates include Louisiana (11.0 deaths per every 100,000 people), Mississippi (10.2 deaths), Alabama (9.5 deaths), Missouri (8.5 deaths) and Maryland (7.4 deaths).
