I like how you say 'something more concrete' to describe 'nothing new' Isaac Send a noteboard - 06/02/2013 10:38:35 PM
I frankly find this pretty damn disrespectful to the audience, "Here's a map". There's nothing concrete about this, data on deaths rate is is freely available and it's just a death count by county, a couple months isn't enough time to know if the rate has gone up or down, and a map is hardly necessary to discuss that. How would me putting up a map of abortions by place or suicides by place add to those conversations? This isn't a high resolution freeway map we can use to see which exits and stretches have abnormal crash rates, it's a superficial and useless construct that might as well be a population density map.

It would be more useful if it was regional block map showing gun deaths relative to population and racked up the deaths over a couple decades rather than a couple of months.
