Weekend Gun Report: January 3-5, 2013 A week after we began the Gun Report, we decided to end each post with Slate's gun death tally, an interactive feature which tracked shootings in the news since the Newtown massacre on Dec. 14, 2012. Slate partnered with a Twitter user, @gundeaths, who had been linking to news stories about people killed by guns. No one else in the media was sounding the daily drumbeat of gun violence, and Slate invited readers to contribute details about the shootings it featured every day, giving us a sense of exactly who was getting shot in America. On December 31, Slate announced it was retiring the feature. Citing the difficulty of tracking each death, Dan Kois, who has written for the Times, explained that "the overwhelming likelihood is that our interactive missed more than half of the gun deaths in the past 12 months." The site reported some 12,000 fatalities, but according to the Centers for Disease Control, about 32,000 people are killed by guns in America each year. Slate's tally, updated hourly, was more timely than the C.D.C."s statistics, "but as the gulf grew between our tally and the likely actual totals," Kois wrote, "I began to feel uneasy about our calculator. How could we solve the problem of missing people? Suicides, Kois concluded, were the project's gaping blind spot. Homicides and accidental shootings make the local papers, but suicides, which account for 60 percent of gun deaths, are rarely reported. But the project isn't being abandoned entirely: The Gun Violence Archive, a not-for-profit corporation created and funded by Michael Klein, will be taking over Slate's gun-deaths count later this year. Klein plans to track not only gun deaths but also injuries incurred in robberies, assaults, accidents and self-defense. Where Slate depended on news reports, the Gun Violence Archive will use information from police departments, mayors" offices and coroners. Kois believes that the executive order President Obama signed last January jump-started gun violence tracking and research, placing us "in the midst of a boomlet in firearms research funding." Private money devoted to gun violence research, Kois believes, will be the key to saving lives in the future.
