I don’t want to be that guy but 8 billion divided by 400 is 20 million. So to get a global average you would multiply the number here by 20 million… 20 million people are not shot every day
Are you conflating the global population and US shots? I don’t trust the gun stats I found, so I left them out of my fact check in the other comments. Added sources for those and OP is pretty accurate overall.
If that is the case than 827,000 people are shot every day in the US… That’s not right either.
It’s literally math for what they are saying when one person out of 400 is shot and it is scaled up to the US population. Even if it was rounded from .5 in a set of 400 that’s still over 400k
The actual number is 316 per day. Still a bad number but that is .1% of the number they have given
The number provided in the post is inaccurate to a real-world scale of US shootings. One person shot every seven years is instead accurate to real world data if the US population were scaled to 400 people.
316 shootings per day, every day for 7 years, is 807,380 people shot. 807,380 into 331,000,000 (the US population) is one in 400. Therefore if the US population were 400 people, there would be one person shot every 7 years.

That’s world stats because I wasn’t sure what it was counting. The US is 827k
This is not an argument about whether or not the stats are accurate but: I think they’re talking about the US, not the world.

By my math, at this scale it would be one person shot roughly every 7 years. That’s still kinda scary.
That isn’t right. 1 in 400 means in 400 days everyone has been shot once

What number do you have for the actual number? The number I found said 316 every day which makes it about 1 million years with population
316 shootings per day, every day for 7 years, is 807,380 people shot. 807,380 into 331,000,000 (the US population) is one in 400. Therefore if the US population were 400 people, there would be one person shot every 7 years.
Ok I see, same answer just shown different
Only 332 million people in the US 😉
Yep that’s why that number is probably wrong
