    • “at least 1 out of 400 shot everyday”
    • 365 shots per 400 people per year
    • or 9.1 shots per 1 person per decade

    The AVERAGE American has over 9 gunshot wounds? Man things are getting bad in the US.

    Note: The other statistics seem to mostly check out (see another guy’s comment about that), which is great. It’s just weird the gun one is so astronomically inaccurate.

      Yep. I addressed this in a reply. I think he was thinking 1/400 evey year and then forgot where he was in the thought process.
