fucking crazy that the lowest number on this map is 25 when the highest on the europe is 25.
I don’t understand the choice of scale 25, then a range of 50, 75, 150, 100. What’s special about hitting 400?
Here in Australia the number is 2 per million people
Wow, good thing I live in New England.
And yet the US and Mexico haven’t won any medals in shooting events at the Olympics
How many of those are suicide?
Not a fan of the scaling here. There is a vast difference between 75 deaths and 150. The creator should have made more iterations to distinguish values.
Aside from that, it’s still not as bad as I thought. At some of the low ends, that’s maybe 100 people per million on this type of death.
Sure it’s bad compared to Europe, but it’s also a different cultural dynamic.
Hey Republicans, if you want to stop Mexicans coming over the border, maybe go down there and fix their gun problem.
The equator is causing gun deaths.
There’s something going on in Mexico
Canada gets one stat for the whole country? Canada is equal to New Hampshire lol
why is Canada not divided into provinces?
This could be interpreted as the warmer it gets the more likely someone is to shoot you. Over heated populace = *bang* *bang*
Republican America has a lot of gun deaths, with a few exceptions in the Rockies, like Utah.
What’s the little safe spot in the middle of Mexico about?
Is this what conservatives mean when they say that Canada has become communist?
Accessibility to guns does not explain gun deaths in the USA.
Why does US and Mexico get per-state, but Canada not have per-province\territory?
500 per million is absolutely nuts.
_US: see, allowing guns in our law isn’t what causes more dead!_
I don’t want to imagine what would happen to Mexico with a similar mindset as US
MO being that high doesn’t surprise me one bit. It’s got 3 of the Top 10 most dangerous cities in the US in it: StL, KC, and Springfield.
England and Wales has 9.9 total homicides for any reason. And for some reason many people in the US think it is a dangerous place for public safety (particularly knife crime). Your safest state has 15% more gun related deaths alone than England & Wales has total homicides.

I’ve recently also made a similar map for [South America](http://landgeist.com/2024/07/16/gun-deaths-in-south-america/) and [Europe](http://landgeist.com/2024/06/22/gun-deaths-in-europe/).
