32. Maine also doesn't have the lowest rate of gun crimes

http://muskie.usm.maine.edu/justiceresearch/News.Databook.htm

And if we download the "domestic violence and firearms" page here, we learn that the rosy number of reported low gun crimes in Maine is achieved by the state not counting the cases of domestic abuse involving firearms as gun crimes. Factor THOSE in, and Maine goes from 90 gun crimes a year to more than 500 gun crimes a year...
