Fucking lol. I can't believe that shit's real and from Reuters of all places.

I couldn't find the graph on an original Reuters article (they must have gotten embarrassed and pulled it down lmao), but Business Insider still has it on their version of the article

(edit: and this is just time vs murders, not time vs gun deaths, a better statistic for this)

I think the idea behind the graph was to make it look like blood flowing, but the execution was... not the best

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Would still make more sense if it was reversed lol

Look at the scale one the left.

(It’s upside down)

[-] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 18 points 11 months ago

I know :)

my reply was in disbelief.

I thought at first the point was that murders had gone down because they were suddenly technically legal. The inverted scale thing is worse

[-] Ashen44@lemmy.ca 19 points 11 months ago

there's actually no fucking way

[-] Signtist@lemm.ee 19 points 11 months ago

I almost missed the scale on the left. Almost.

that can't be real.... why would gun deaths go down after such a law is passed? I don't understand the world...

Edit: Oh I read the other comments. Yeah that scale is stupid.
