To be fair, 432 shootings in a country of 340,000,000 isn’t THAT crazy, relatively speaking, especially considering the existence of the 2nd Amendment, and that last I heard, there are more guns in the US than people.
I don’t like guns either, just trying to be objective about it. People like to talk about the US like we’re all constantly gunning each other down, but the reality is that it’s quite rare.
Even moreso if you don’t count stuff like gang hits, which this was.
TIL it has its own wiki page.
This depressing page also exists exists: List of mass shootings in the United States in 2024
Isn’t this just a population density map?

Interestingly the stripe along the east coast follows the I-95 corridor.
Because I-95 follows the cities where people live. This is basically a population heatmap.

You are correct, the US needs to increase speed limits to even things out again.
Most countries don’t have more than one shooting a day.
Most countries don’t have 340,000,000 people, either.

If you plot it over the last 20 years it looks a lot like a Verizon coverage map. Coincidence?
Real talk, nationwide maps like that are useless. They’re just the the population map.
