The Biggest Guns

Who controls the U.S. gun industry? The Big Guns is an information visualization that draws attention to the controlling oligopolies in America’s gun industry (18 x 27 inch poster, two color print). The visualization starts with an overview of the manufacturers and what type of firearms they make. Next, it shows the production rates of the top manufactures over a period of 25 years (1986–2010), finally dividing the manufacturers into their respective subdivisions.
