According to the DoJ website, for the last year data is available Vermont had 16 homicides, something like 3 of which were gun-related. So Demetrius might have been hyperbolizing a bit, but really not by much.

Though I suspect if you tried to run say, the state of New York the same way as you would Vermont, you'd get pretty significantly different results.

EDIT: Looking at a list of per-capita data I just want to say, DC I was expecting but hey Alaska, WTF?

...adding that DC excepted, it seems like the states leading in gun fatalities seem to be those more libertarian on gun policy.
