Then there is this down in the article.... the new Stanford University study demonstrates.
Gun injuries ae the second leading cause of death for children in the US
The US has far more school shootings than any other wealthy country
This year alone, 560 children have been killed by guns
Rates of pediatric gun deaths are twice as high in the South and Midwest where laws restricting the weapons are more lax than in the West and Northeast
Federal bills to restrict gun sales have largely failed
But the Stanford University study authors say their study shows that state laws show promise for preventing children from being killed by guns

I have little doubt that the CA and MA claims are accurate. The MO, ID, MS? I guess it depends on how you define "gun law" is.California has 107 laws regarding guns and Massachusetts has 101.
On the other end of the spectrum, Missouri, Idaho and Mississippi each have just two laws each pertaining to guns on the books.
More bush-league-psych-out-stuff from self proclaimed statisticians.
For Missouri, 40% of the fatalities by firearm are reported from the STL, KC and Springfield metro areas. Then there is the Chicago paradox...stats are rarely misused...no?
