I don't want to argue that we aren't far behind of other countries, but the last stat I saw was that Americans had a 1 in 11,000 chance of dying in a mass shooting (stats are higher for general assault, 1 in 315)[0]. Is this terrible? Yes. Should we do everything we can to reduce this number, given that we seem to have the largest problem? Absolutely. Does gun violence have the potential to get blown out of proportion when there are many other items that are a leading cause of death?
