Riddle me this, Trumpanzee trolls. It's a given that the redder the state the more shit house rat crazies. But is the mental health really that bad in them, or is it something else contributing to the gun deaths just as it is in all of the states?
Hmmm. Firearm Mortality by State per CDC
The “redder” the state, the higher the mortality rate. Notice that the lowest rates are on the “left coast” and New York (tougher gun laws). Hmmmmm.

17. Amongst white males
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/gun-deaths/
Based on statistics from 538 for 2016, the firearm mortality rate for white males seems to say that a white male is 7-8 times more likely to die from a firearm suicide than from a firearm homicide.
It would be interesting to see more modern data, but the pattern probably has not changed dramatically. Oddly enough, the primary victims of those buying guns seems to be those buying the guns. Although not as extreme, it seems to bear some - though less dramatic - resemblance to the tobacco issues of the past, where an industry has badly abused its client based with substantial collateral damage.
Interestingly, suicide in the US seems to be substantially correlated with being a white male. Per capita murder is also higher in rural areas by about half, although one wonders about the statistics.
The white male US suicide rate is, or near, the highest in the developed world. Combined with alcohol, drugs, and other "deaths of despair", this group seems to be steadily reducing its share of representation in the House of Representatives.
