1. So many tragedies, but only one is dominating the news now.

[dcmfox]

2. Sure

but just look at MAGA country

[Queso Delicioso]

3. Probably a very boring explanation

But I bet it directly correlates to population density. Crimes happen where the people are.

5. Yes but not completely.

There definitely seems to be a higher concentration of gun deaths in the Southeast and fewer in the Northeast relative to their population.

The map found here (even though it's from 2023) confirms that.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/firearms.html

California & New York have very low rates relative to the country as a whole.

9. Grab that CDC web page before the assholes take it offline!

18. Maybe corresponds to where the guns are?

Or, where the crazy people with guns are?

[Wiz Imp]

19. I would guess that's true

I would guess gun deaths in an area correlate very closely with the number of guns in that area.

6. It doesn't seem to, exactly.

I was noticing that NC, SC, and GA seem to be overrepresented compared to population.

4. And to be clear, the only reason there's wide areas in the west with very few red dots

is because hardly anybody lives there.

7. A more informative map would show deaths per population.

8. Right here:

16. That's a sad map, too.

[yardwork]

21. Thank you. Very informative.

10. that East Coast... yikes

[markodochartaigh]

12. Yes

especially Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. There certainly is a correlation between Republicans and gun deaths. Thank you for pointing it out!

Edit: When you look at it per capita the difference is really stark. It's really the whole South and Intermountain West except Florida and Utah. The correlation is stark.

13. I've traveled extensively...

Mostly back when I was working...

Ive been everywhere... and there's no worse place than urban Southeast State cities.

Chicago and DC aren't quite as bad as they say... I spent most of COVID in Georgetown and found it to be just fine.

From Memphis to Miami... serious violence.

24. Would be interesting to see this with and without gun suicides

To see where this is a crime problem, a mental health problem, or both.

[1WorldHope]

11. And look at California on the map that shows the

Deaths relative to population.

[3825-87867]

14. At this rate...

we're gonna need a new map sooner than later.

[Warpy]

15. Wow, look at Florida!

King Maggot really needs to do something about that SHITHOLE he's claiming to be his home state, looks like he needs to pull all those Natioal Huard guys out of relatively calm blue areas and focus them where they're really needed, patrolling the mean streets of Florida, including around Mara Lardo.

[Crunchy Frog]

17. Doesn't number of deaths tend to correlate with population density?

[Wiz Imp]

20. See post #5

[Vinca]

22. The first school shooting Republicans ever cared about.

[CTyankee]

23. And look at Delaware, President Biden's state!

Delaware beats CT!
