Description
The phenomenon of gun violence is a highly politicized and contentious issue in the United States. With instances of gun violence, such as school shootings, on the rise in recent years, and the media coverage on them, I wanted to investigate the contemptible issue of gun violence between the states of the country. Namely, I aimed to investigate the influence of politics on gun violence, to see if the political nature of states has an effect on gun violence. Research Hypothesis: There is a relationship between the political affiliation of states such that the more Democratic a state is, the less gun violence they have.
