This is why my default setting on guns is: people who want to keep things more or less as they are need to show me how to make gun ownership safe by developed-world standards.
Alternatively - treat guns like cars.
If you are going to site Australia's gun suicide rate dropping as a leading example of why you should limit guns shouldn't you do a bit more background research on that (i.e. is it really changing anything)?

Don't change for me.
Progressives conveniently ignore the spike in violence from the drug trafficking gang wars of the late 80's and early 90's when they decry Mass Incarceration and instead blame it solely upon unfair & discriminatory sentencing laws.
Sorry folks, but you can't ignore the facts when making your arguments.
1) Infographics are overrated
2) See above (oh they used an icon of a gun...cute! Can't wait to Pinterest it!)
3) Most map charts just become population charts
4) Calendars should always feature bikini girls
5) Too busy
6) Too small
7) Not enough contrast to make an impact. Every state is colored, so you can't easily identify the focal point(s)
8) Grid lines too dotted
9) Line charts don't need data markers
10) Needs more contrast between colors
11) Pie charts are for pedophiles, although kudos for limiting to two slices per pie
12) Visually not bad. Incomplete story as it's lacking the suicide rate for self-immolation over the same years.
13) Another population chart ... worthless
14) Not terrible. Uses a lot of ink to say almost nothing, though.
15) Here, the data labels don't add insight and make an already busy chart busier. Showing % on Y-axis would be a better choice
16) Hard to follow
17) Pretty good, except the "R-D diff" column on the right is unnecessary and distracting
This article is total bullshit. Just look where most homicides occur and it'll be democrat controlled and have very strict gun laws. Try the book More Guns Less Crime. By this guy:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kleck
526 murder victims in Chicago alone so far this year. Hondo's silence is the normal response from the far left.
Look at all these liberal states!!
Not the case
From the link...
In 2015, 3,027 people ended their own lives in Australia. That's 12.6 people in every 100,000.
Which puts it above the average of where its been for the last almost 100 years. So if you are "bright" enough to write an article that says getting rid of guns will save people from committing suicide and use Australia as the example, shouldn't you at least go spend 30 seconds Googling the actual Australia data to see if it helped before you claim this wonderful benefit?
Like I said, the Vox folks are not the sharpest tools in the shed.
And if you are "bright" enough to reply to a simple post pointing out this stupidity without reading/understanding a simple link and plot...well...that is how we coin terms like HondoFS...but in your defense at least you weren't alone?
