1 in 400 is 0.25% a day.

According this report roughly 325 people a day are shot a day in the US (if we’re including those who don’t die).

325 in 340,000,000 is 0.0000955882%, four orders of magnitude less.

In a room of 400 people that’s one gun violence victim every 7 years. Or, conversely, 0.25% would be 850,000 per day in 340,000,000 people.

All that said, 325 victims a day is still completely absurd and doesn’t need to be so wildly exaggerated.
