In reply to the discussion: The most effective and most often used murder weapon [View all]beevul
(12,194 posts)40. Again, says you.
Your signature line is falsely contending that 99.9% of ALL living gun owners in a drop-back period, do not shoot or kill anyone; written as it is, that's what you are contending: 99.9 percent of gun owners do not shoot or kill anyone. Focus on the .1 percent who misuse guns, and leave the rest of us who don't, and our guns, the hell alone. Member of the 99.9 percent.
Who said anything about living. Oh that would be you again. Maybe you should take up some remedial reading before you criticize anyone elses failures, mkay?
You cannot validly claim that is true over time, just because it is approximately true for one year.
Put your money where your big mouth is and cite 1 year in the last 30 in which it wasn't true.
My table below clearly says 'gun owners', not 'gun owners who did not shoot/kill'.
No shit dick tracy. You're only counting one side. Thanks for the confirmation.
You are actually doing nothing whatsoever with your junk science, just reducing a fraction from larger amounts over 5 years, rather than one year, ergo the stat will remain the same.
Yes, the stat remains the same, at .1 percent.
Try it again, you messed up. I'll help. First, remember 0.41% = 0.0041 scalar;
Next, enter 0.0041 in the entry box, then click on X (for multiply), then enter 100,000,000 in the box, and see what the answer is.
I don't have to get all fancy james. I simply go to http://www.percentagecalculator.net/ , and in the second set of fields it asks x is what percent of x. of course, I use the proper numbers, and ask the correct question, where you don't.
100,000,000 isn't the correct number, 410,000,000 is, which works out to...*gasp*....1 percent. 410,000,000 is the sum of the column you refuse to add.
*snicker*
