  Fucking lol. I can’t believe that shit’s real and from Reuters of all places.

  I couldn’t find the graph on an original Reuters article (they must have gotten embarrassed and pulled it down lmao), but Business Insider still has it on their version of the article

    I think the idea behind the graph was to make it look like blood flowing, but the execution was… not the best

      I thought at first the point was that murders had gone down because they were suddenly technically legal. The inverted scale thing is worse

  that can’t be real… why would gun deaths go down after such a law is passed? I don’t understand the world…
