Are you counting all the people who killed themselves on purpose?
Are you counting the people whose killings were justified, like when a cop kills someone who needs killing?
Are you counting the people shot by FELONS, who are already barred from owning guns?

from the data sheet there are a fair number of self inflicted gunshot deaths.
I think that data needs to be drawn out into its own column for clarity.

I recently watched a Vice episode about the gun culture of Chicago gangs. Scary stuff for sure. Strict Chicago gun laws have zero effect on the ability to obtain guns in the Chi town hood. Gun culture is the true problem.
I have just come to accept the fact that......
Im gonna die !

Yeah, cars run so clean that you can't CO2 off yourself anymore and people are always looking at taking the easy way out. Bridges have barriers now, and even getting a pill prescription is much more difficult than it use to be.
To be, or not to be.....to bolt, or not to be....
OH, INCASE ANYONE MISSED THIS PART: "The Slate data comes from crowdsourcing and warns that it is “necessarily incomplete.” "
I COULDN'T IMAGING CROWDSOUCING BEING UNRELIABLE.

Nice yank for emotion type of article.,.
So, there weren't actually all those people shot?
Sorry Randisi, but we're just so free that we've killed more of each other since December than the ENTIRE WAR in Iraq?
Ron, oops sorry, I forgot that gang deaths don't count. What a bunch of crap. Is it death by firearm or not?

There's about 68 accidental shootings in the list. Seems appropriate to include those in this list.

How many people died in car accidents during that same time period?
I'll bet it's more than 68.

Yeah, Chaz, car accidents dwarf many death causes, so lets do nothing about any of them.

Depends on what it is you want to do? What do you think would solve the problem?

The obvious method to balance the figures;
shoot bad drivers.

I love when people bring up car accidents and relate them to shootings. Here's the difference. A car accident is an ACCIDENT! Nobody accidentally walks into a movie theater with an AR-15 and shoots 70 people... oops.

We've had that program up-and-running here in CA for thirty years now.
Whenever I drive out-of-State, I'm always seeing drivers doing brainless things that would get one shot in California.
