      No, no, let’s number out that “nearly everyone”.

      The average 18 year old would have 16 gunshot wounds. But how many 18 year olds would be expected to have no gunshot wounds?

      If it’s a 399/400 chance of not getting shot, and those odds are repeatedly won every day for 36518 days, that would be (399/400)^(36518). Multiply that by a population of 300 million and after rounding we get 🥁…

      22 😂

      Not thousands, not hundreds, but 22 humans out of the entire US population who made it to 18 years old without being shot. Man it really do be getting bad out there.
