Visualizing Gun Deaths

Comparing the U.S. to the rest of the world.

Another look.

Some perspective from the BBC article:

So many people die annually from gunfire in the US that the death toll between 1968 and 2011 eclipses all wars ever fought by the country. According to research by Politifact, there were about 1.4 million firearm deaths in that period, compared with 1.2 million US deaths in every conflict from the War of Independence to Iraq.

Think about it.
