Guns And Violence Study

Quote:

What Explains U.S. Mass Shootings? By Max Fisher and Josh Keller

But there is one quirk that consistently puzzles America’s fans and critics alike.
Why, they ask, does it experience so many mass shootings?

Perhaps, some speculate, it is because American society is unusually violent.
Or its racial divisions have frayed the bonds of society. Or its citizens lack proper
mental care under a health care system that draws frequent derision abroad.

These explanations share one thing in common: Though seemingly sensible,
all have been debunked by research on shootings elsewhere in the world.
Instead, an ever-growing body of research consistently reaches the same
conclusion.

The only variable that can explain the high rate of mass shootings in America
is its astronomical number of guns.

This study surprises me.

Just guns, that's it?

If I eyeball the graphs and exclude the United States then I get a negative
correlation for the first graph and almost tiny negative correlation on the second.

Does anyone see it differently?
