> even if the deaths are weighted by population, choosing the median is far more likely to give a non-zero value for larger countries. the reasoning is well explained in the link I posted. The main reason, for those who don't want to read it or went straight to comments without reading my post in full, is that *The data itself supports this interpretation, as the United States endured mass shooting events all seven years, but the other countries all experienced mass shootings during only one or two years. Thus, in a typical year, most countries experience zero mass shooting deaths, while the US experiences at least a few.* If that doesn't scare people enough, maybe this[1] or this[2] will.
