Hey, I see what you did there.
You used the same tired Global Warming charts and switched the REDs to BLUEs.
Good multi-tasking! 
btw are you saying they don't need guns in Alaska?
Ever watch TV lately?
They have three damn good reasons to carry guns:
1 Bears
2 Bears
3 Bears

Japan had a single shooting death in 2015, compared with more than 13,000 in the United States. The reason japan murtders us knifes is under strict gun laws, Japan's mass killers must rely on knives instead
How many would have died in Florida if the killer used knifes?

A minor point: generally about 60% of US gun deaths are suicides.
A major point: if guns in general, and "assault weapons" in particular, are so evil, why did the Democrats not hold a single vote on gun control when they had complete control of both houses of Congress back when they shoved ObamaCare down our throats?

Re: a major point: What's more important? Getting over 20 million Americans decent health coverage or trying to convince politicians to do something about guns?

How many people lost their coverage because of OCare? How many of those newly "covered" went on Medicaid? (Hint: the majority.) How many of those on Medicaid still use emergency rooms because 75% of doctors do not accept Medicaid?
So the Dems squandered their once in a life time advantage in Congress to do one thing, pass a terrible "health care" bill that has been a complete failure and is dying a slow death. They ignored their big issues like DACA and immigration and gun control, and now blame conservatives for their inability to get those things done.

Unfortunately no. I admit here is a case to be made for self defense But the gun climate fostered by our culture adds to the romantic "hero", or good guy with as gun absurdities on one side and on the other a "getting even for what they did to me"
The killing leverage of firearms enables psychotic gun nuts and facilitates suicides. Ritual suicides like (harakiri) and (seppuku) are not appealing to Americans, so guns are the chosen method.
And as far as mass killings with knifes.... Well don't bring a knife to a gun fight

You said, no guns, no mass killings. You’re wrong.
Hell yes an able bodied 19 yr old could kill 17 with a machete.
