but I note a numerical discrepancy, perhaps from you and the OP using different definitions of mass shooting deaths--or something.

If 0.1% of deaths come from mass shootings, and there are 723 dead this year already, that would be 723 / 0.1% = 723 x 1000 = 723,000 deaths this year from shootings, which struck me as way too high. A very quick Google search on my part brought up the Gun Violence Archive (https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/) which says there have been 39,482 incidents so far this year of gun violence death (with 21,450 of those coming from suicide--calculated from CDC suicide data)--a horribly high figure, but nowhere near as high as 723,000. So, for the 18,032 non-suicide incidents, 723 dead from mass shootings would be 4% of the total non-suicide shooting deaths, or 1.8% of all shooting deaths.

Perhaps you meant to say 1% instead of .1%?

In Canada, 291 people were homicide victims by means of shooting last year. That's about 1.6% of the US.

Yeah, some idiot was up in Avondale, near Phoenix, two days ago, shooting people on and off the interstate highway. One man was killed in his car, and many injured. And I didn't hear anything about it until my partner mentioned seeing something about it online.

And I wonder why I want to hide out away from people like a hermit??
