Sources: [https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/homicide.html](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/homicide.html) for the murder rates and [https://everytownresearch.org/rankings/](https://everytownresearch.org/rankings/) for the state gun law rankings.
The „National Failures“ (1) have an average murder rate of 7.5 while the „National Leaders“ (5) have an average murder rate of 7.9
Tools: Microsoft Excel
I don’t know how to interpret this data
I don’t understand this doesn’t seem to be what the second link says at all?
As per your source, the gun law strength should be a 0-100 value [https://everytownresearch.org/rankings/](https://everytownresearch.org/rankings/)
I’m not sure why you grouped them into discrete values 1-5.
This isn’t beautiful, nor is it helpful.
This is neither beautiful nor good analysis.
>The „National Failures“ (1) have an average murder rate of 7.5 while the „National Leaders“ (5) have an average murder rate of 7.9
Seems like information that would lend itself to immediately making overly simplistic conclusions based more on whatever I happened to believe before I saw the data than anything else.
Also, seems like boiling „gun law strength“ to a single number is suspect.
>All states should start with a core group of five foundational laws—passing background checks and/or purchase permitting, along with Extreme Risk laws and secure gun storage requirements; and rejecting Shoot First (also known as Stand Your Ground) and permitless carry laws.
Yeah this is the problem with these types of analyses. I see absolutely no reason a secure gun storage law would impact homicide. Suicide? Totally. Homicide? Not at all.
Additionally, stand your ground law would seem to have very little to do with homicides, since SYG laws specifically and literally decrease the number of shootings that are legally homicides.
Everytown includes suicides in their „gun violence“ rates, so more than 60% of these are suicides not murders.
Try using an unbiased source instead of political action group like Everytown with an overt avowed goal of restricting firearms rights.
gun law strength is not a numerical value.
gun laws can be enforced in individual cities and counties.
this graph is not written properly
I find this presentation of the data neither effectively clarifying nor beautiful despite my appreciation for minimalist design and interest in the topic.
OP has absolutely no idea what hes doing with statistics lmao
this sub is lost, so is i/spoileedidegetrekt
How can you plot a non weighted and non numerical indicator against a numerical value
Is 1 higher in strength than 5, or is it the reverse? (What is gun law strength?)
Gun laws obviously have no little to no effect on the murder rate. Very few people jump from no criminal record to a murder, so the people committing murders have records and generally can’t legally own guns anywhere in the US.
Look, i screwed the data untill it seemed to support my oppinion!
