http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22gun%20violence%22&cmpt=q http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22gun%20violence%22&...
or "gun deaths"
http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22gun%20deaths%22&cmpt=q http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22gun%20deaths%22...
And yet both of those show the same dramatic spike in interest.
- gw 14y agoThere also seems to be a dramatic spike in interest in "2nd amendment" http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=2nd%20amendment&cmpt=q http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=2nd%20amendment&c... And "gun rights" http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=gun%20rights&cmpt=q http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=gun%20rights&cmpt...
- pg 14y agoOnly the latter is phrased in a way that implies the searchers are primarily gun advocates, and that spike is only about 3x. Whereas searches for "gun violence" spiked 15-20x.
