I'd be quite interested in those stats if you can give me a citation. I can come up with a few ways to explain that correlation off the top of my head that would not imply causation (such as "long guns are more commonly owned in rural areas, so have proportionally higher ownership, and such areas also tend to see lower crime rates per square mile due to low population density", i.e., a third variable problem), so I'd be really interested to see the underlying data.
