  1. Mississippi is that Major league baseball team that doesn’t try to win championships, but just enjoys the shared revenue

  2. Weird how the state with the most consistently liberal laws (Massachusetts) is almost always in the best colors of these maps

  3. Shit data when you don’t remove suicides. Not to mention, you just straight-up copied this visual from Wikipedia. What a dog shit post all around.

    Honestly, it makes sense that modern conservatives focus so feverishly on arts and crafts culture wars – their worldview is completely unsupported by actual empirical data LMAOO

  5. The color scheme is relatively misleading compared to the numbers. The numbers actually don’t seem as bad as I had anticipated

    25 gun deaths per 100k people is .025% of the population

    Obligatory ‘gun violence is bad’ qualifier

  6. Sorry OP, your visualization is fine, if a bit unsurprising. But these types of visualizations are getting a bit tiresome. Can we add a rule to this sub that color coded maps of the US are only allowed every fourth Monday of the month or something?

    Also I’m confused by the tool you linked. Did you literally just recreate by hand the exact map in the cdc page you linked using that tool?

  7. It’s wild how every state that fights for guns has the worst rates. 🤷 and they’re also the most poorly educated, have poor healthcare, poor birth care, poor child care, poor….hmm what do those states have in common? 🤔🤔🤔

    Suspiciously high correlation with the other map just posted showing the Trump election results margins for white americans by state…

  9. Now it would be interesting to see how that map correlates with state gun laws such as open/concealed carry permissiveness.

  10. always funny to me how this looks quite similar to the map of the black population percentage per state
