Re: Accurate statistics

A bit dated, but still illustrates the point:

​According to the CDC, there are roughly 32,000 deaths a year in the US and declining from "Gun Violence."

Let's break those numbers down:
60% are suicides. That's 19,200
3% are accidental. That's 960
4% are justified. That's 1,280
33% are homicides. That's 10,560
80% of homicides are gang related. That's 8,448

That leaves 1,712 in a society of 312 million people.

You have a 0.00010256410256410300% chance of death by gun.

If you don't hang out in the hood, are not planning to commit a crime, and if you do not plan on committing suicide, that chance drops to 0.00000548717948717949%

America DOES NOT have a gun problem.
