That isn’t right. 1 in 400 means in 400 days everyone has been shot once

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.

What number do you have for the actual number? The number I found said 316 every day which makes it about 1 million years with population

316 shootings per day, every day for 7 years, is 807,380 people shot. 807,380 into 331,000,000 (the US population) is one in 400. Therefore if the US population were 400 people, there would be one person shot every 7 years.
