You mean some gun crimes are not capital (I guess that means state) crimes in some states?

"Capital" means they are punishable by death. What I'm saying is that most gun crimes (i.e. possession of an illegal firearm, robbing someone at gunpoint, etc.), even in states with the death penalty, are not punishable by execution. That's why I don't really see the connection to whether or not the state has the death penalty, which is generally reserved for murder, gun or no gun.
