This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

For fatal gun injuries you're right, but about 50% of all non fatal gun injuries are caused unintentionally. There seems to be about 43k unintentional gun injuries per year(source). In comparison in total there are 47k gun deaths per year.

So yeah not negligible in the slightest, especially in a country without healthcare.

And how many non-fatal but intentional gun injuries?

[–] TurboToad@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

The other 50℅, so about 43k...
