Mother Jones Gun Violence Dataset by curran

This is a dataset on gun violence.

Originally published in US Mass Shootings, 1982-2015: Data From Mother Jones’ Investigation. Downloaded in CSV format from https://github.com/hepplerj/gun-violence/blob/master/data/motherjones.csv. Column types were manually annotated in data.json for use with the automatic type parsing library dsv-dataset

This example page provides the basic code required to load the data and display it on the page (as JSON) using D3.js.

Built with blockbuilder.org

forked from curran‘s block: The Iris Dataset
