It's a breakdown of the United States general population, I think.

So, in a little over a year everyone in the USA will be shot? 875K people are shot daily?

[–] Trollception@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yea I could believe the other stats but there's no way one person out of 400 is being shot every day.

There are 400 people. Yet the 2 trans people are all you talk about. Goes both ways

So lets take a look at the everyday, at least 1 person is shot

This would assert %0.25 of the population receives one or more gunshot injuries each day or 830,000 gunshot victims per year

A Penn Medicine study claims the number is 329/day

Which is 0.000098% of the population or 120,167 victims a year.

Brady United clocks US gunshot victims at 117,345 per year or 0.035 of the population (321 victims a day).

I suspect our poster Shon was computing that one of his 400 Americans in a room (I presume folks in the US) was getting shot every year and misspoke / forgot to carry the one. It's too easily detectable speaking to communities that will be eager to apply skepticism and dismiss the post in entirety.

I prefer to meet trans people in person to get to know them and judge them based on their actions like any other person rather than what I believe is on their minds.

So after 400 days everyone is dead?

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Single GSWs aren't THAT deadly. Quick Google shows about 20%. So after 2000 days everyone is dead, assuming we're not replacing them ever.

I could also write this but like 2 trans people decided to ruin life of 10 others each round. And factual value would be about the same.
I'm sick of those victimize everything agendas to be honest.

Why would I be in the same room? Ew, I'm going back in my gated community and calling the cops
