huh? Per that link, the gun fatality rate in the US is about 175x that of Japan (10.54/100k vs 0.06). Are you calculating deaths-per-gun or something goofy like that?
- lettergram 10y agoSure fatalities are, but look at the guns per capita. When you actually do the math the US has significantly less gun fatalities per gun
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoThat's because many of those guns are smuggled into Mexico and Central America.
- kennywinker 10y agoGuns per capita seems weird to me. Guns are not evenly distributed. One gun collector with 200 guns makes for a skewed representation of the prevalence of guns. I'd like to see percentage of households with one or more gun. That, to me, would be representative.
