(2,717 posts)beevul: 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.
You have suddenly invalidly altered what you wrote in your post 38 above, which is what I replied to, not your specious crap immediately above.
I wrote, from post 38: 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.
beevul replied, post 38: That's funny, the calculator says its .1 percent. Your 'rough estimate' is off by a factor of 4.
My contention was valid; your altered result using altered figures does not refute in any way what I contended.
PS: I wouldn't even need a calculator to divide 410 million by 410,000. Just a few seconds of thought.
