Also, the map was created in 2017 and shows the results of the 2016 presidential election by congressional district, not gun violence statistics. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/feb/27/instagram-posts/more-gun-ownership-does-not-lead-to-less-gun-viole/ https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/02/fact-check-97-percent-of-guns-not-in-areas-of-us-that-account-for-3-percent-of-gun-violence.html https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2024/02/28/gun-violence-red-blue-us-map/72762015007/
