What This Is
- A permanent public record of firearm deaths worldwide
- Data sourced from WHO, CDC WONDER, UCDP, and Gun Violence Archive
- Append-only — no record is ever modified or deleted
- Countries that do not report appear as gap entries
What This Is Not
- Not affiliated with WHO, CDC, ATF, or any government
- Not an advocacy platform
- Not a prediction tool
- Not an editorial publication
The data is the argument. The ledger does not editorialize.
