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?

[-] Trollception@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

There are 400 people. Yet the 2 trans people are all you talk about. Goes both ways

So lets take a look at the everyday, at least 1 person is shot

This would assert %0.25 of the population receives one or more gunshot injuries each day or 830,000 gunshot victims per year

A Penn Medicine study claims the number is 329/day

Which is 0.000098% of the population or 120,167 victims a year.

Brady United clocks US gunshot victims at 117,345 per year or 0.035 of the population (321 victims a day).

I suspect our poster Shon was computing that one of his 400 Americans in a room (I presume folks in the US) was getting shot every year and misspoke / forgot to carry the one. It's too easily detectable speaking to communities that will be eager to apply skepticism and dismiss the post in entirety.

I prefer to meet trans people in person to get to know them and judge them based on their actions like any other person rather than what I believe is on their minds.

So after 400 days everyone is dead?

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Single GSWs aren't THAT deadly. Quick Google shows about 20%. So after 2000 days everyone is dead, assuming we're not replacing them ever.

I could also write this but like 2 trans people decided to ruin life of 10 others each round. And factual value would be about the same.
I'm sick of those victimize everything agendas to be honest.

[-] zepheriths@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I don't want to be that guy but 8 billion divided by 400 is 20 million. So to get a global average you would multiply the number here by 20 million.... 20 million people are not shot every day
