Um, 35,000 / 3 million is 1.1%.But your denominator is wrong too. Maybe there are 175 million gun owners. 35,000 / 175 million = 0.02%. That looks small, but it is comparable to car deaths. And cars get used maybe an hour per day per owner, while many guns only get used hours per year per owner. For each hour that a person has a gun in their possession, far more goes wrong than for each hour that a person is operating a car. |
