Do you see a difference in what is being assessed in these two charts?

The Mother Jones graph shows the number of incidents vs. fatalities. Your chart, uncredited I might add, shows incidents vs. victims. This can change the data significantly. For instance, in the Aurora shooting there were 12 fatalities and 70 victims. Newtown is the exact opposite scenario with 28 fatalities and 30 victims.
