[QUOTE="Uncle Meat, post: 16281784, member: 5089"] There were [URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/05/does-us-lead-world-mass-shootings/?utm_term=.28f726468a4d']43 mass shootings in the US between 1998 and 2012[/URL]. The average victim count is somewhere around 10 victims. That gives us a 0.0000001 chance in a year. That isn't quite right, though, since most attacks are not truly random, but targeted, which decreases the probability of being a victim drastically if you don't meet the criteria. One common criterion is that you spend most of your time in a Gun Free Zone, which most people do not. You need to be more afraid of being killed in a car accident. There's always been whacko's in the world and there always will be. Not a whole lot we can do about it until we reopen all of the psych facilities and start institutionalizing these nutjobs again.
