Within the 24-hour period after the murder of two WDBJ-TV staffers in Virginia, there were still places in the US where people were busier finding a place to buy a gun than they were understanding America's record on gun violence. Below is a map of those searches, captured by Google News Lab, of "gun shops" (red) or "gun control" (blue), according to metropolitan areas.
We don't know much about the people conducting these searches, but we do know, simply, that a lot Americans looked for a gun shop this week in a country that already has more guns than people.
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
