300+ million people, 300+ million guns, 32,000(?) gun deaths= 0.0001% chance you’ll die from a gunshot. Unless you choose to become a “if I had a son” thug type. Chances go up.

That percentage goes down even more when you remove the suicides (60% of the total) and the justifiable homicides. Separate the gang-related criminal homicide and you are left with about 1700 homicides.
