I think they were referring to the fact that those states specifically have what's called Constitutional carry.

Edit: with that in mind, it stands to reason that there are more factors at play that contribute to violence than the presence, or lack thereof, of gun laws. On the reverse side of things, California has a laundry list of gun laws that include places like gun free zones, yet they were the site of several high profile shootings recently. And before someone mentions crossing over state lines to get guns, that is already a federal crime if you don't get an FFL involved.

Your source says nothing on gun laws just that the aforementioned states have low murder rates and low ownership percentages. This data really speaks to the intersections of poverty, education and population density.

The population densities of all of the low murder rate states are pretty sparse. I mean they really like their guns in Montana and Wyoming but they are some of the least populous states. Massachusetts is really an outlier it's pretty crazy their murder rate is so low with so many urban areas. I wonder how they do it?

I guess I'm just saying is there a "Greek style" or just pizzerias owned by people of Greek descent?

Like I probably had it and just thought it wasn't great pizza. I liked husky Pizza I think but it has been a decade

Not many pizza places I would say I dislike. (Georges /olive bar is the only one it comes to mind that I think is overrated)

Greek pizza is normally cooked in a greased pan. It kind of has a distinctive looking crust that is a bit more rounded and crispier than other styles.

I don't know if it's a widespread Greek pizza thing, but most (if not all) of the Greek pizza I've had from the northeast has their large pizzas cut into squares rather than wedges/slices.
