America’s Gun Problem, Explained

Vox used a video of 18 charts to illustrate America’s gun problem in the wake of several debates on gun control, mass shootings and the 2nd amendment. The time-lapsed drawings with the three-dimensional representations of statistics and their interdependence on each other gave the viewer a new way of understanding this debate.

What truly struck me what the way they were able to tie in footage from President Obama, news correspondents and newspaper headlines to show the prevalence and growth of gun violence in the United States. The last line of the seven minute video is truly why I am sharing this today: “The United States does not have a gun problem. It has several of them.”
