Please, no facts and numbers — I’m enjoying my opinion!
What was “fixed” compared to the other recently posted graph. Clearly the results are different. Was the first one not using correct or recent data?
Did not expect to see Illinois so far down, or tied with Oregon of all places…
I wish this was a 3-5 year period or we had individual charts for other years.
Where Canada would fit in ?
Do it by city you cowards
No wonder red states think everything is shit.
Major projection
By county rather than state is much more interesting.
Curious to see without suicides included
Per 100k is always odd with populations. In 2022 there was 160 guns deaths in Alaska (less than .5 a day) and 666 in Arkansas (almost 2 a day). Six times as many but right next to each other on the list.
Over 1000 in New York State but a significantly higher population, so they appear low on this list.
I don’t care about any narratives about red vs blue, just shows how statistics can be visually skewed.
Why bother colour coding by election winner? Seems like other factor beyond politics would be at play here- like socioeconomics
Any way to make this graph interactive? Would love to slice the data by different variables — such as physical size of state of state x population of state, or registered gun owners x population.
I bet it’d be damning.
Release the epstonk fyles
Lotsa suicides on this graph, I’d like to see violent crime related gun deaths specifically.
kinda wild detail: new mexico + alaska are blue on this map but their gun death rates look like deep south levels. it’s not really politics tho – more about poverty, rural life, and a ton of suicides driving the numbers up
Just for context the homicide rate here in germany in 2024 was 0,9 per 100.000.
Mississippi is such a dump. They deserve Tate Reeves.
Soooo gun violence is a completely overstated issue since 30 people out of 100,000 is nothing and natural rate?
“In 2019-20, there were 199 registered deaths related to firearms in Australia, including all injury types (suicides, assaults, undetermined intent)…Suicide accounted for 79.8% of the firearm-related deaths in 2019-20, with homicide accounting for 13.5%. There were 3 deaths (1.5%) recorded as unintentional (i.e., accidental discharge of firearms). The remainder were of undetermined intent (10 deaths, 5%).”
We have a similar rate of non-gun homicides to the US, and a similar non-gun suicide rate.
People fighting over blue and red states/cities in the comments here when the real problem has always been the ruling class making us hate each other over literally everything so they can fuck us every which way while we’re distracted
Australia = 0.9 per 100,000 in 2022/23.
Decent gun laws might actually be a good thing surprisingly…
Thank you for posting this! I did a similar chart a while back, and the comments were pretty much exactly the same.
United States of embarrassment
Remove suicide and redo it.
This just shows the tool, not the act. Ststes with more guns, use that tool. If they didnt have guns, there would be another tool used. That, and suicide accounts for most for this, and that is generally based on being poor. A homicide per capita map is not black and white like this. 90% of gun related deaths in idaho are suicide. Idaho and much of the Midwest has lower homicide rates than the coastal states. You would be 3x more likely to be murdered in california than in Idaho or Utah, and thats with all their gun control.
This sums up to poor states vote red, rich states vote blue. Essentially class warfare, where poor states don’t feel served by the government. Taxes effect them more, and outsourcing industry kills landlocked states (or poorly positioned coastal ones). Coastal cities import and export services. Being a blue state doesn’t make you rich, as it’s more geographically based. More like being a rich bourgeois makes you vote blue, funny enough.
Of course there are countless other factors, such as racial demographics, whether a red state has a major blue city, etc. This data just shows the tool, not the acts. Guns are more common, and are therefore used more.

There’s a trend I’m almost noticing

Australia is below 1 on this measure, although the figures I found were [from 2019-20. ](https://www.phaa.net.au/common/Uploaded%20files/SIG%20documents/Injury%20Prevention%20SIG/PPS%202023/09-02_-_Injury_-_Firearms_Injury.pdf)
