The most effective and most often used murder weapon

[beevul]

38. Says you.

There wouldn't be 410 million gun owners in existence after 5 years, which, allowing for maybe 10% deaths & giving up guns, would ridiculously be more than the ~325 million US population.

So what? If, IF your goal is to tally those who did versus those who didn't, that's the applicable math.

I allowed for a total of 100 million gun owners in existence {or gone} after 5 years for calculation purposes, which is far closer to the facts than your ridiculous contention of 410 million.

Its not MY contention, jimmy, its YOURS:

80,000,000 gun owners - 2000 ------ 80,000 shootings & gundeaths (0.1% x gunowners)
81,000,000 ..... " ........ - 2001 ------ 81,000 ..... "
82,000,000 ..... " ........ - 2002 ------ 82,000 ..... "
83,000,000 ..... " ........ - 2003 ------ 83,000 ..... "
84,000,000 ..... " ........ - 2004 ------ 84,000 ..... "
........................................ total = 410,000

You wrote that. You came up with the hypothetical numbers. I just finished your math is all.

You find the shooting/kill percentage of existing plus dead or gone gun owners in America after 5 years, using your 0.1% claim. 410 thousand is 0.41% of 100 million, rough estimate.

That's funny, the calculator says its .1 percent. Your 'rough estimate' is off by a factor of 4.

.. you are now double counting gun owners to make an invalid contention. Ha, double count? quintuple counting.

Nope, I'm just tallying them once. You on the other hand tally up the deaths and injuries but don't bother with the rest.
