It would be nice if fewer people were dying from bullet wounds; that does not change the fact that this article&#x27;s headline is misinforming.<p>Further, the data is misleading as well. Suicides, homicides, and accidental deaths are three different things.<p>On top of that, this data is collected across the US...meaning that it includes both areas where gun laws are loose, and areas where gun laws are strict. This means that the data tells us nothing about whether tougher laws would help or hurt the state of gun-related death, for reasons that should be obvious to anybody who&#x27;s completed a high school science class.
