Methodology and Policies
1. Formatting Policies:
Charts and lists are not uniform in appearance because they contain different lengths and different data.
Long charts and lists may be embedded as PDFs. For example, see “65 restrictions on arms in place on Dec. 15, 1791″ – “VI. Summaries of the 143 Militia & Arms Laws and their 84 additional Sections of those laws.”
Shorter charts and lists may appear within a page, either pasted as an image or created from another source and pasted into the page.
- Example of Page with chart copied and pasted from another source: “Ten laws requiring individuals to have and carry arms, no longer valid by Dec. 15, 1791“
- Example of Page with chart inserted as an image from another source: “A 2015 comparison of guns deaths per capita in U.S. states versus the number of eight gun laws in those states“
