+(Gun Control Laws) -> -(Gun-related Deaths)

States with tighter gun control laws have fewer gun-related deaths (from an article in Vox, here).

More Guns -> More Deaths (not less)!

US States with greater gun ownership have more deaths, not less as argued by Open-carry and Concealed carry advocates (from a Vox Article here). The solid line is the linear regression line (Gun Deaths) = a + b(Gun Ownership) and the coefficient (b) is positive not negative.
