Quote HistoryQuoted: They don't, it's compete bullshit. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: How does anyone have this information? They don't, it's compete bullshit. It's basically a survey of how many people admit to owning a gun. So either Davis County is a hotbed of gun ownership, or people here are really trusting of strangers who call them out of the blue and ask them how many guns they own. |

It could be worse, they could have used figures from an Arfcom poll. Except the results would reflect the bodies of water with the highest gun numbers lost in each. |

The mere presence of a map that claims it holds information over where the most firearms are owned in our nation is ridiculous. Anyone with two brain cells could figure it out for themselves. There's simply no way to determine which states hold more or less guns without a national registration with 100% compliance. And that's never gonna happen. The web page is simple click bait that assumes the person reading is a rube. |

And that's never gonna happen. The web page is simple click bait that assumes the person reading is a rube. see, as a guy who makes maps based on geodata, i have a somewhat different perspective. at a certain point, a researcher has to ask "what do the data in hand tell us?", and i have no problem with a map that represents those data...provided that a suitable acknowledgement of data limitations is made. now, the guy here actually makes an effort at metadata acknowledgement. what he wrote would be completely inadequate in an academic setting, but it strikes me as a decent effort for an amateur. ultimately, a map is a semiotic device--a tool to communicate information and meaning. this map is merely a symbolization of one particular group of information (city-data.com). it's not fundamentally different than making a graph or a table. granted, i would be much happier had it been acknowledged correctly, but the map itself is not bad. |

The creators of that map follow the clicks back and update the map from your IP address. Sounds expensive, but Bloomberg has deep pockets.
