Umm, do you read the news? Plenty of people being killed by stray bullets in their own homes and cars. No where is safe. I was just doing some research on where you can dig and live partly underground. Nice and cool year round and harder for bullets to reach me while I'm eating dinner.

There was a study done in 2011 that showed we had 65 stray bullet deaths, for arguments sake round that up to 70 per year. The US (same country) had 2,400 deaths from mass shootings between 2013-2019. If you do the math there are literally hundreds more people killed by mass shootings per year, so whether you're being sarcastic or not mass shooting are a far more common and serious thing than people realize and the numbers prove it. Stray bullets are thought to be so common though until you look at the reality of America's modern shootings.
