‘Math’s actually not THAT hard,’ Ken replied.

TTAG:

For example, for the United States:

100 people PER DAY die in car accidents.

2,640 people PER YEAR die from house fires.

117 people died from mass shootings… in the last DECADE.

From a straight analytic standpoint, there’s no reason to be concerned about mass shootings. None whatsoever.

The probability that you will be involved is so small that my calculator switches to scientific notation when I try to compute it.
