→New Infographic: i'll take a look but ...
==New Infographic==
==New Infographic==
I found [http://hbo.vice.com/episode-three/ep-3-seg-1/infographic this] today and thought someone who was a little better at data interpretation than I should take a look at it before it was referenced and/or posted on the main article. It compares "states where adults are allowed to carry on school grounds(or legislation is pending to allow it)" to "victims (students and faculty) per of student population" and is very well done in my opinion. Now, I think this would be important to display on this article because it appears to me (once again, I'm far from an expert on interpreting this style of data) that it shows no correlation between gun control and school shootings. If I'm correct in that interpretation, then it proves the point that enforcement of current laws should be the government's focus as opposed to passing new laws which will continue to go unenforced and continue to make no difference.

:Before I look at it, I'll just point out that the two main positions are that changes to the gun laws can stop crazy people from shooting up schools and theaters - and that we'd be better off committing crazy people to mental hospitals. Moreover, neither side in the [[firearms debate]] accepts the other side's interpretation of the data. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 22:54, 20 April 2013 (EDT)
