It's a breakdown of the United States general population, I think.

So, in a little over a year everyone in the USA will be shot? 875K people are shot daily?

Yea I could believe the other stats but there's no way one person out of 400 is being shot every day.

Also, over 20% of the population is illiterate? I don't buy it

It's about 26k total homicides per year, about half are firearms, a huge majority of those are handguns.

So 875k people in the US are shot to death roughly every 67 years.
