#2The distribution along the basin and range parts of the country are very interesting. Just eyeballing it, it looks like there is a significant altitude component.
Is it just the second and third-order effects of higher transportation costs, or is it something to do with barometric air pressure?

#3The northeast, northwest and south west seem to be doing something very right.

The graph is, in a large way, an inversion of population density.

Background checks for firearm sales are doing a lot.

Though as the sister comment mentions, low-density settings also seem to correlate, at least for the counties outside of the South.

It would be nice to see multiple maps, split up by category, with an additional one for gun-related deaths (combined suicide and assault).

#7Strange that the counties with major cities like Chicago with high gun violence don't even register?

#9Smoking is biggest shit that's widely accepted, why? idk
People argue that banning it would be against "freedom"
Please explain to me how:
1) causing harm to yourself
2) causing harm to people around you
3) paying for it additional taxes(!!!)
4) and all of that while being highly addictive
... how is it a freedom?
The nature of it being addictive removes "freedom" from the consideration.
It isn't freedom when you're addicted.
I know smokers and a lot of them says that they'd want to drop this shit, but they cant.

#10Interesting that this was created by a Florida professor but Florida is the only southern state where it is mapped almost entirely "white"; completely different than the other Southern states that are red indicating high mortality.
