195. Actually, it is stronger than that.
The total population of the state includes babies and small children as well as older children, but still pre-puberty. It includes the population that is in nursing homes. As a general rule, they don't have access to guns. I would suggest that about one third of the population does not have firearms access.

So we would be looking at 848 convictions from an estimated crime-capable population of about 16 million for a rate of 5.3/100K.
