316 people a day times 1 million is 316 million people technically it takes a bit longer but the time scale is so large it's irrelevant

I think your math is off there. First, you're forgetting that there's 365 days in a year. Then you're forgetting that the scale is 400 people. Yours basically said that shootings irl are only happening once per year instead of once per day, and the US pop is only 1 person.
