Cartography

The purpose of this poster is to visualize and analyze the spatial distribution of firearm sales and other factors associated with firearm use and ownership in the contiguous United States between 2014 and 2025.

One of the main objectives of the poster was to provide a better geographical understanding of how gun sales vary across states, how gun ownership is distributed among U.S. households, and how these patterns may or may not be associated with incidents of gun violence and participation in hunting activities.
