This 538 series on gun deaths in America from last year is worth revisiting.
Here’s a great accompanying article by a former 538 writer:
A very flaky article. Basically “There is a problem but I don’t understand how to fix it, so let’s ignore the problem and fix other things” 😉
Er… I don’t think that was the throughline at all.
I think it was more along the lines of “There is a problem but people are trying to put a band-aid on it instead of addressing the root cause.”
I missed the part where it diagnosed the “root cause” and came up with a solution.
