Gun restriction is also much easier to enforce when you are literally on an island thousands of miles from anywhere.

Wrong. It's not stringent gun regulation, it's lack of something else.pic.twitter.com/7xlLObftia

Yes, Pinker mentioned it's difficult to disentangle from demographics, but he may be putting too much emphasis on corrl bt gun deaths & gun control in comparison. Although suicide is a serious social concern it's strange not to separate from homicide. What % HI gun deaths by scd?
-
Given Asians & whites have > rates of scd by gun than blacks; blacks have > rates of homicide by gun than whites or Asians; blacks are 2% of HI's pop, whites 25%, Asians 50%, I'll bet maj of HI's gun deaths are scds, & demographics outweigh gun ctl as predictors of gun homicide.

Massachusetts and Rhode Island have lower rate of gun deaths and a healthy hunting culture. Gun laws don’t matter, culture matters.

“but most studies support one conclusion: states with more guns have more gun-related deaths and violence.” I sigh every time I see the qualifier “gun-related” before “deaths”. We care about all violence rates not just ones caused by guns when deciding how to make our laws.

"demographics" Yes. Let's just say Hawaii's demographics are different from those of Chicago.

It might help that it is hard to smuggle in a gun. It's a lot easier to drive from say, Indiana to Illinois .

IIRC from one of Thomas Sowell's books, white immigrant groups in the early 20th century had IQ scores comparable to those of blacks. As they assimilated into the American mainstream, their scores rose in a kind of super-Flynn effect.
