NY Ranks Dead Last In Freedom Index

From Cato Institute:

When it comes to the bottom states, we see that the Empire State has consistently placed last. The difference between the scores for New York and New Hampshire corresponds to one and a half standard deviations on every single variable. New York also performs poorly across the board, but especially on economic freedom. Thus, New Yorkers feel the heavy hand of government in every area of their lives.

You would instead be prepared to discover that some parts of the country experience more violence, have a greater tolerance for violent solutions to conflict, and are more protective of the instruments of violence than other parts of the country. That is exactly what the data on violence reveal about the modern United States.
