Vermont.
New Hampshire.
Maybe colleges were right, do we need safe spaces? Those northeast states are fairly homogeneous.
If I had to guess, the adventurous types all moved out a long time ago. Leaving a natural selection of laid back and easy going folks.
If we don't touch the 2A, then we could study the Northeast, develop a physiological profile, and start to define the traits of gun murdering states, then come up with methods of bridging the divide between the worst offenders and the best outcomes.
