Chances of Americans dying from gun crime is above 70 percent

I'm always scared about guns cause i keep hearing things about shootings and gang shootings. And even that recent thing in hollywood where a guy just opened fired in the middle of the street.

Are the chances of people living in America getting shot (and dying) over 70 percent chance?

It seems like it. I even think maybe i won't even get to my 50's and i'm in my 30s now because in California there's so many gangs and robberies and bank robberies and I keep hearing crime news in tv and the newspaper.

Meanwhile the Japanese brag that they don't have to worry about any guns  and they can go out at night walking to wherever they want with no fear

Well, I didn't go directly to the source, but neither did you; but if this guy on the forum is right, there are a few more things to be worried about than getting shot.

as for homicide by shooting, this shows us that you have less than a 1% chance, so stop being paranoid.

It most definitely is not above 70% in all of America. In certain cities, however, it could be; they would be the ones where the population is very, very low.

Guns really aren't causing large amounts of deaths; in fact, they're very random. I advise you kindly to not make assumptions because you seem to be frightening yourself over what you think might be true, based on narrow observation.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a startling revelation for 2015. It is projected that deaths from guns will surpass deaths from car fatalities in 2015. An estimated 33,000 Americans will lose their lives from guns as opposed to an estimated 32,000 Americans who will die in car accidents.

The gun violence in America is an American Shame!
