  • Data sources for Versions 1-3: Gun sale data (for bar chart) from: Brownlee, Chip. (December 30, 2022). "Gun Violence in 2022, By the Numbers". The Trace. "Annual gun sales estimates are based on data from the FBI's National Instant Background Check System" ——— NICS firearm check data (for line chart) downloaded via link at NICS Firearm Background Checks: Month/Year. FBI.gov. Federal Bureau of Investigation (March 31, 2023). Archived from the original on April 20, 2023.
  • FBI source explains: "These statistics represent the number of firearm background checks initiated through the NICS. They do not represent the number of firearms sold. Based on varying state laws and purchase scenarios, a one-to-one correlation cannot be made between a firearm background check and a firearm sale."
  • SVG source code for these charts was automatically generated by the Vertical Bar Charts spreadsheet, the Line Charts spreadsheet, and The Scatterplot spreadsheet, that are linked at User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG.
