Well I guess that proves your point because as we all learned in Statistics 101, correlation absolutely proves causation. Oh wait..did I get that backwards?
Now what other factors could possibly be in play?

Why don't these Indiana guns just stay in Indiana and kill people at the same rate as they do when they go to Chicago?
It should be noted that these "statistics" are for one year, 2013. They also include all related gun deaths, not just homicides (suicides, etc). As for correlation of deaths with gun laws, I've shown this data over and over on this forum to be horseshit. But facts don't matter when you're pushing a narrative.
Possible explanation.
We hustlin'.
gotta keep ya guns buddy! Look at how things work out when you're unarmed, unprotected and weak...
Europe...jihad central. Colonel Gaddafi...sodomised and shot. Saddam Hussein...hanged.
Kim Jong Un...he got the nukes.
I notice your "adjusted data" ignores Maine and Vermont that have the most liberal gun laws in the country yet some of the lowest gun murders. I guess it doesn't fit your narrative.
So gun laws work? This piece of shit should have never been able to buy his gun due to his serving felony time in the Air Force Brig and THEN later being committed to a mental health facility. If gun laws work HOW DID HE PASS THE BACKGROUND CHECK? Why did the FBI approve him for the purchase? That law didn't work. Are you proposing we pass more laws that don't work so everybody "feels" safe?

Ted Cruz: Dems Filibustered Legislation That Would Have Had Texas Church Shooter in Prison
Cruz said, “[T]his should have been stopped beforehand. Under federal law, it was illegal for this individual to purchase a firearm. He had a conviction for a crime that’s punishable by more than a year in prison, and he had a conviction for multiple domestic violence crimes. Both of those, it’s already ineligible. But, several things happened: Number one, the Air Force — the Obama administration didn’t report those convictions to the [NICS] database. That’s an endemic problem. It’s a problem with the federal government. It’s a problem with the states. And so, when he went in to buy the guns, they ran the background check, and they didn’t find it because it wasn’t in the database. But I’ll tell you we could have prevented this. In 2013, in the wake of Sandy Hook, I joined with Chuck Grassley, we introduced legislation that was called the Grassley-Cruz legislation. And it was aggressive legislation targeting felons and violent criminals to stop them from getting guns.”
“There were a couple elements of that legislation that were critical: One, it mandated that federal agencies, including the Air Force, report to the [NICS] because that was a problem back then. But, two, and this is an even more critical piece, if it had been reported to the background database, when he went into Academy to buy this — these weapons, he lied on the forms. That is a felony to lie on those forms. The Obama administration didn’t prosecute those cases. In 2010, 48,000 felons and fugitives lied and illegally tried to purchase guns. They prosecuted only 44 of them.”
