"Firearms kill 30 people every day. Do you honestly think 6 Billion guns shots are fired every day? There would have to be that many for the gun deaths to equal the same ratio of auto deaths."

Your grasp of logic and statistical comparisons needs a lot of work.

I've pointed out the inclusiveness of those statistics.

Your grasp of logic and statistical comparisons needs a lot of work.

How so?

For argument sake say that 10% of the US population fires a gun at least once a day ( I doubt it is that high - but we'll use that as a base line):

100 auto deaths a day / 20 billion miles driven each day = 1 death for every 200 million miles driven.

30 firearm deaths a day / 30 million shots fired = 1 death for every 1 million shots fired.

No matter how you slice it - firing a gun is at least 200 times more dangerous than driving a car. And I have been very generous with the firing number - I really doubt that 30 million gunshots are fired every day - but we KNOW that 20 billion miles are driven every day.

If you can't grasp those figures - maybe a remedial math course might help.

Sorry if the facts don't fit your beliefs - but you know how pesky facts can be.
