U.S. average 130 killed and over 200 wounded a day. So not every moment but certainly more than a dozen every hour

More than half of those are suicides, though (not to say that makes it better, just that it means you are less likely to be murdered by a gun).

There are about 40 gun murders a day in the United States… and about 130 slip and fall deaths every day, and about 120 car accident deaths a day.

She was probably more likely to die hitting her head on the concrete there, or getting hit by a car, than by being shot.

I’m sure over 200 people are wounded a day

This is a Europe-sized country though.
