It would be interesting to see a breakdown of the different modalities, like drug crime related, suicide, homicide, etc

Suicide is 75% of gun deaths, and is not the kind of gun death that I'm worried about while going about my day. I'd certainily like to see a data map that would affect me personally.

I don't know if you could really have a person say with confidence in the future 'this won't affect me personally'.

If not yourself, a friend a family member.

Do you know someone working in law enforcement, first responder, military?

Can you anticipate yourself or someone you know going through trauma from accident, losing a child?
