So in the worst year of lightning fatalities recorded in American history, the average American had may be 1/10 the chance of being killed by lightning each year compared to Americans of today had of being killed by guns.

Fast forward to now, for the average American Today, lightning rods and indoor sedentary habits have reduced rate of lightning fatality by a factor of 30.    So the average American now has 1/300 the chance of killed by lightning compared to being killed by guns.     A factor of 300 is very rough indeed.

Oddly enough, spontaneous human combustion seems to have a race preference.

Quote:Kill 1000 a year...

And ALL of those were unarmed people?

No?

Gee....

So you think when the cops are getting shot at - they aren't supposed to shoot back?


Let's quit moving the goalposts folks -

How many UNJUSTIFIED shootings a year?


According to this - 13 unarmed black men were shot nationwide in 2019..
And if it were 2000 you would be making the same argument. What was that about goal post moving ?
