This post was deleted for the following reason: This is a striking visualization (and hi Matt!), but probably better as a link in the open gun policy thread or the open thread about mathowie's other recent gun-related project. -- LobsterMitten



 
According to this 21,175 (~63%) were suicides.

I'm not sure this is the most effective visualization of this data, if the idea is to make us angry about this epidemic. It's just overwhelming and sad and repetitive ---- gun gun gun gun x 33k. It reduces the problem to annoying wallpaper, which may be what they want.
