Talk:Gun death and violence in the United States by state

message: A year or so ago, I farmed some data from the old Wikipedia page that was merged with this one, trying to correlate firearm homicides and firearm ownership. It appears that during the merge, the "gun murder rate per 100k" data was transferred to this page identically, but the "gun ownership" data was not. For instance, this page shows firearm ownership for the state of Nebraska at 19.8%, while the old page showed it at 38.6%. I'm having a hard time sourcing this data to check it. Does anyone know the discrepancy? 
edit:
I see the new data came from here:
http://injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/22/3/216
...which was based on a survey of 4000 people, but there are certain states on there such as Nebraska that I suspect were undersampled. Does anyone know the source of the data in the prior table?

thread_title:  Possibility of some bad data in the ownership table? 

message: Maybe it would be a good idea to include a fully articulated definition into the article of what "firearm death rate" is. Im assuming it includes accidental, suicide, homicide, etc.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gizziiusa (talk • contribs) 02:20, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Definition 

message: There should also be a categorization of states by gun homicide rates as well in the article. 2607:FB90:4A2F:8DA1:0:47:6985:2C01 (talk) 08:21, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Differentiate between homicides and suicides as well 

message: I've seen recent research that claims a correlation between the rate of gun ownership and the rate of gun deaths. Should investigate and include this data if it is reputable. Wcmead3 (talk) 14:56, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gun ownership data 

message: Given that the overall homicide rate figure of 4.9/100k includes Puerto Rico, why isn't Puerto Rico included in the table? Washington, DC isn't a US state, but it is included in the table of states.
For 2015, removing the population of PR and homicides from there, the US homicide rate drops to 4.75/100k.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.23.113.122 (talk) 08:53, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  What about Puerto Rico? 

message: This article is currently in :Category:Deaths by firearm in the United States by state. However that category is a container category and as such should only include other categories, not individual articles. However this article does seem a natural fit for it, so I have started a discussion at Category talk:Deaths by firearm in the United States by state as to whether or not its status as a category container should be changed, which I thought I should flag up here.

message: The CDC data referenced (both directly and via the CNN article) is labeled as "Age-Adjusted Death Rates", but I haven't been able to find any explanation of the methodology used to adjust the data.  Also, what is the purpose or benefit of age adjustment in this case? At a minimum, the fact that the data has been adjusted should at least be noted here. Hptasins (talk) 16:12, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  CDC data is "Age-Adjusted" 

message: I am new to this. My purpose is to say this data table should be updated. Some have posted the opinion that the overall homicide rate does not belong in this article and on the table. I disagree. If you look at CDC data from 2021: Tennessee's Firearm Death rate was 22.8 and Maryland's Firearm Death rate was 15.2. Is it safer in Maryland? No, Maryland and Tennessee both had an overall homicide rate of 12.2.    https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm

The CDC could lay this out in a single table and stratify firearm mortality by type. Technically all deaths by firearms are homicides. But there are different types, justifiable, intentional, justifiable, accidental, and suicide. OtherInfoSeeker (talk) 02:03, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

It usually has the latest CDC combined rates by state. Table, graph, and map.
Its map and graph can be copied under commons:Template:PD-map and commons:Template:PD-chart. They are in the public domain (read PD template pages). 
Or make a new map with the data on the map. See:
