If that is the case than 827,000 people are shot every day in the US… That’s not right either.
It’s literally math for what they are saying when one person out of 400 is shot and it is scaled up to the US population. Even if it was rounded from .5 in a set of 400 that’s still over 400k The actual number is 316 per day. Still a bad number but that is .1% of the number they have given
By my math, at this scale it would be one person shot roughly every 7 years. That’s still kinda scary.
The number provided in the post is inaccurate to a real-world scale of US shootings. One person shot every seven years is instead accurate to real world data if the US population were scaled to 400 people.
Not to mention one everyday would be 365 out of 400 every year. Clearly, ~90% of the population isn’t getting shot every year.
Shot doesn’t mean dead and one person can receive multiple gunshot wounds in a year.
There’s just one poor unlucky guy who drives the average up. Keeps surviving though
Yes. Still, 90% of the population isn’t getting shot every year and a couple of people aren’t going to make up for it with multiple gunshot wounds.
That being said, whatever the real percentage is, it’s still too high
