Answer: A) millions B) probably a few thousand C) a handful over the last 100 years
So... a fraction of a percent. And the libs think we need to confiscate them all.
I will make the same argument I made above (this is just a subset of what I said)...
The number is statistically insignificant relative to no deaths by assault rifles at all.
The problem:
Libs will quote statistics saying Americans are x times more likely to die by gun death than y country.
so lets say x is some obscene number for like... 100 times (which is probably way way way over what they quote).
And lets say the probability of dying by gunshot in country y is .00000025% chance.
Well, that means you have a .000025% chance of dying by gun violence!
Keep in mind, if you factor in other things, like...
Are you in the military? Are you a police officer? Are you in a gang? Are you a crack head?
If you answer no to any of these, then the probability goes down by a very large percentage.
So, no. We don't have a gun violence issue in this country...
If you look at the real numbers and not the BS the media feeds you, it's easy to see, we don't really have a problem.
