Gun Violence Visualized

Guns are a hotly debated topic in the United States. Whether you stand behind the Second Amendment or lean toward gun control, most can agree on a goal of identifying insights that can help reduce gun violence. On these pages we visualize trends in gun violence, allowing users to compare gun deaths at both international and local levels, including US county detail. We take a broad look at “gun violence” including murders, suicides and mass shootings with the goal of identifying who is dying and who is most at risk for hurting themselves or others with guns. Our team’s goal is not to push any one agenda, but to inspire a more informed debate on the topic.
