That looked cool. I was particularily interested in what they said about gun control( http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp ). I went to the source of their information and it was totally different from what they reported.
They attribute the data to the source *[120] Dataset: "20 Leading Causes of Unintentional Injury Deaths, United States, 2007." U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. Accessed September 1, 2010 at http://webappa.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/leadcaus10.html* And here is their graph. Notice that firearm deaths is 16th. Here is the exact data i got from from http://webappa.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/leadcaus10.html for 2007 Notice than firearm deaths are ranked both 4th and 5th. What is going on here? Is this a Fox news source. Also, why did they just choose 2007?
