It would be interesting to combine data from this map with some education data. Hypothesis: the dumb shits are in the red states.

What a ridiculous false choice.

Right to Vote > Right to Bear Arms, since you can use your vote to ensure the right to own a gun, but a gun doesn't do a whole lot to guarantee your right to vote.

Well, I always vote for a third party candidate. So as a result I'm pretty much throwing my vote away. Might as well get a gun out of the deal!

Some folks like to use their words and some just want to fight.

I am really, really wondering if this map is backwards. I mean, I come from MT and they love their guns there. And, I look at all those New England states and see they are more gun oriented.

What a retarded non-question.

Since when has OKCupid been the high water mark for internet opinion polls? Which are notoriously shifty and useless to begin with.

Might as well make up your own map and post it here.
I'm sure it'd bring in the outraged comments that you seem to fiend for so heartily my dear, lonely, Portland Mercury.

How about this: folks in NY, MA, IL and CA give up their right to own firearms, and in exchange, those in ID, WY, AL and WV give up their right to vote... Works for me!

Terrifying? It looks like the solution to so many of our problems to me -- the idiot states throw away their voting rights so they can fondle their guns. So long, filibuster! So long, GOP!

didn't "we" secure the right to vote with guns? (read that: American Revolution). A pointless quiz. I'll not give up either.

@ JLC: *We* did not secure our right to vote with guns during the American Revolution. A bunch of white, male, landed colonists from England, all of whom died more than 200 years ago, secured *their* right to vote (not women, not slaves, not those without property, just the white, male landowners from England) with guns that were most likely made by none other than their very own oppressors. And of course, it bears mention that when the 2nd amendment was written, a few years later (by those same white, male, English landowners), America still had no standing army, and there was a very real possibility that the Redcoats might come back. Today, we face a very different reality. The Redcoats no longer want anything to do with us, and as far as I can see, there is absolutely no reason that our citizenry need be armed (assuming our democratic institutions are still in place, which admittedly, is up for debate these days), apart from the occasional foray into the woods during hunting season. So, to recap... Guns: they may not kill people, but they make it a hell of a lot easier for people to kill people; Standing army: now exists; Redcoats: not coming back; Hunting season: a small sliver of the year; Your point: utterly fucking baseless.
