| If America's gun violence problem is only at 4.9% Posted by shuke33 Doesn't that mean a gun violence problem happens 0.0049% a day?  on 1/31 at 2:21 pmReply • Back to Top |
| 4.9% of what?!? Are guns used in 4.9% of violent crime? Have 4.9% of Americans been a victim of violent crime involving a gun? Are 4.9% of Americans incarcerated for commiting gun crimes? Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Myself also I'd also like to know what the 4.9% number even represents in the first place The statement doesn't even make sense. "America's gun violence problem is only at 4.9%" Of what? Compared to what? It's a useless statement without more information Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I think that is what he is asking. I think 4.9% is the number of gun murders commited by an assault rifle. Not sure why he decided to divide by 1000... but I'll be honest and say I did some wierd shite in engineering classes to give me a number close to what I knew it should be... Reply • Back to Top |
