Each dot = one life

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

Site breaks down those 33k+ deaths by male/female, ages, reasons (suicide - biggest factor-, terrorism, accident, etc.) and ethnic background. Interesting data which should - repeat, should - give some credence in studying gun deaths . IN NO WAY am I under emphasizing the main reason for these 33,599 deaths which is guns, guns and more guns. However it does present another avenue of looking at the problem.
