I think so too, I'm not sure where the points on the graphs are , it seems that it randomly goes up and down in between the names of countries. For example if you look in between Eritrea and Singapore it is a zig zag between two data points what do all the values in between those two countries mean? For some of these countries I can't even tell if the homicide rate is higher or lower than the country next to it because I have no idea where the data points are.

but assuming the data is actually real , it doesn't look like gun ownership and homicide rate is correlated at all. Just because it is low for the last 5 out of 50 countries on the list even though it was randomly moving up and down for the last 45 countries before that. I would like to see all the countries in the world on one chart as well as a another graph that is ordered by homicide rate.

decent graph overall though

Why is it the responsibility of other nations to make sure that the Philippines can handle the amount of trash they're taking? That makes no sense. Sure, countries should handle their own waste issues, but no one is forcing the Philippines to take anyone's trash. They're doing so freely, and then immediately mismanaging it. It's a self-inflicted wound, and no doubt people in government or business are getting plenty of money out of it while the average person wades in garbage.

Well, even better, bitcoin price jumps are a cause for search volume, you can predict google search and bet on it!

Btw this is wrong sub for this

This data is not beautiful. How is this a line graph??

exponential scale misleading here i feel like

The intersection of common sense arguments and facebook memes is the null set.

I always never seen the point in banning guns from the general population. It just never made sense to me.

Many states have higher populations than countries listed. Iceland only has 375,000 people. It wouldn't even be one of the United State's Top 50 cities. They should do a state breakdown.

I'd like to see if the derivative of the Bitcoin price is correlated with search

People are just worried you're trying to take away their fun rights (fun intended).

That's fair, also proves the existence of guns doesn't increase homicide either.

But cheese is three times more. Damn.

Sounds like something the NRA would say.

Use a scatter chart. Having the name of the country on the x axis isn’t great. It doesn’t show the relationship (or lack of one) between the firearm rate and homicide rate effectively

The omit of the US in this is kinda nuts. I hunt, have a concealed carry permit for my state, and own 15 guns. But then there’s the angry 18 year old that acquires a gun. This chart is as bad as our gun laws. Please regulate and overhaul both.

It is. Except when it isn’t.

50% of the time it works every-time

Fun related homicides is a controversial subject for sure.

I'm more curious how that country around Kenya has a 90% homicide rate...

Sometimes, data is not beautiful

At best you can say from this (poorly made) graph is that # of guns is not the only factor in homicide. This proves nothing about gun ownership bringing down homicide. The truth is all countries are different, and they all have different factors that can raise or lower homicide rates.

India literally fought for the independence of Bangladesh.
