Do you have a study or evidence to support this belief or is it just your intuition? Arizona is on the high end for age adjusted gun related deaths in the US.

I'd be interested to see that data broken down further by homicide vs suicide.

If you look at this data

it seems that murder rates do not corelate with the total firearm death rate.
