Oh yes, that theory is blown to hell because of a teensy little state with a population scattered around the mountains and no cities larger than the average metropolitan 4-block area.
Damn. How could we all have missed that?
Oh look, an anti-gun liberal telling us that we should do an analysis of all of the factors involved.
Gun crime is linked to race and economics I think the Washington Post showed that definitively a few weeks ago. Few Blacks in NH.

CONCORD, N.H. —As the debate over gun control rages in Washington and across the country, a look at New Hampshire's laws shows that the state has a mostly hands-off approach.
The "AR" does not stand for "assault rifle." It is the initials of the company that first made the gun.
To some, the AR-15 looks like a military assault weapon, but the National Shooting Sports Foundation calls it a civilian sporting rifle popular with hunters.
Gun Crime In New Hampshire Is Well Below National Average
According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program, New Hampshire's rate of violent crime in 2011 was 188 per 100,000 people, the third-lowest in the country, behind Maine And Vermont. Only Hawaii had a lower murder rate than the Granite State's 1.3 per 100,000.
Strange, I never considered life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to include the ability to shoot someone If you didn't like their looks or thought they looked at you oddly.
What a damn ridiculous thing to say. You liberals are about as ignorant as they come.
So how do you explain the fact that Hawaii, which is ultra-liberal and mostly urban and has strict gun control laws, is even safer than New Hampshire is?
As well as Rhode Island.
The fact is: gun nuts love cherry-picking datas.
Their only and one argument against gun control is comparing Chicago's murder rate with some lightly populated states such as Vermont and Wyoming.
Anyway, what if I compare Hawaii's murder rate with New Orleans and Louisiana's one?
