Yeah, it's hard to say really. There are obviously a lot of factors at work. For me that list doesn't so much confirm a correlation between crime and conservatism as it does refute the notion that liberalism or stricter gun laws somehow lead to more crime. If you look back, I was posting the list in response to someone claiming that conservative states had lower crime rates.
