Mass Shootings and the Fear of Being a Victim
Even though our risk of dying in a mass shooting is low, we may still fear it more than deadlier hazards like car accidents.
Should be a big hit in the inner cities.
Thatâs usually where infants killed in drive-bys take place.
The stat you are looking for is âMass school shootingâ, try again.

Irrational fear, they would be better served buying back packs with built in lightning rods, because their chance of getting struck by lightning is much higher.

No, because obviously nobody says that these backpacks could not be worn outside of a school.
Even so, 161,831 / 11,125 = 14.5
Therefore, school shootings would have to be only 6.9 % of all mass shootings just to get our odds up to those of a lightning strike. Not able to find exact stats, but Iâd venture to guess itâs higher than 6.9 %; even if it were a little lower , not much room to go to get the lightning to be âmuch higherâ odds

Especially if they donât end Bidens gun free zone death traps.
nonsensible
Thatâs not a word. Nonsensical.
westaussie:
We Aussies donât measure our manliness by the size of oneâs guns.
To many in the US and quite possibly here on the forum seem to equate guns with rugged manliness. They also fetishize guns an awful lot. I have been on more than range where the looks of lust in the faces of some is really quite disturbing.
You sure that was a range?

To start with your chart is bogus. The lifetime risk of dying from a mass shooting is 1 in 110,154, not 1 in 11,125.
Even though our risk of dying in a mass shooting is low, we may still fear it more than deadlier hazards like car accidents.
The risk of being killed in a mass school shooting in the 2017-2018 school year were 1 in 2,000,000
That was the highest by far in the entire period studied between 1994 and 2018, CDC researchers found in a new analysis. Though mass school shootings command the nationâs rapt attention, their numbâŚ
The odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are 1 in 1,222,000

Use your head, a one in 11,125 chance of being killed by a mass shooter? Ridiculous on itâs face.
Use simple math, for that to be true we would have to be on track to rack up over 29,000 such deaths over the course of the average life, say 72 years. 330,000,000 divided by 11,125 equals 29,662 divided by 72 equals 411. Total mass shooting deaths 2018, 80, 2017, 117, 2016, 71.
Hundreds of people have been killed in mass shootings since 1982
Assault by gun: 1 in 315
Foreign-born terrorist:1 in 45,785
Apples and oranges. We fight international terrorism because there are well funded groups who finance and recruit people to carry it out. No such group exists in regard to domestic gun violence. If they do I will be more than happy to see us fight them too.
But if you are saying being afraid you will be killed by a foreign born terrorist is an irrational fear, I would agree and would further say we should not contemplate infringing on the constitutional rights of American citizens to allay such irrational fears.
We Aussies donât measure our manliness by the size of oneâs guns.
By what then? The size of your flock?
You might like to reconsider that post in the context of your posts.
Why? Youâre the one who was triggered to respond to something that you say doesnât bother you because it doesnât apply to you.
Someone making a buckâŚprobably shell company run by the NRA.
Yeah, exploiting irrational fear is a tried and true way to make a buck.
Iâm curious how this works when kids donât pack their backpacks around all day, they are in their lockers.

I could put you on the operating end of a Ma Deuce and I guarantee you that you would get that look on your face. Heck, even a Thompson will do that to virtually everyone. You may arrogantly think you are immune, but youâre not.

I see, thanks
There is exactly zero truth in your claim.
Yeah, as if you would know.
