165 Days, 154 Mass Shootings

5. Not "remove"... but simply recognize certain statistics dn't apply to me.

And thusly not worry about them.

Hypothetical example... if 70% of the people in my town develop lung cancer, I'd be very worried about getting cancer myself. If I then found out 95% of those people with lung cancer worked in the local mines (but I was a stenographer)... then I wouldn't be quite so worried about acquiring lung cancer.

So when I hear the media and activist groups harp on "nearly a mass shooting every day" ... I am alarmed. When you tell me that 97.4% of those mass shooting incidents are likely gang/drug/robbery related then I am quite a bit less concerned about myself or an acquaintance becoming a mass shooting victim. because I nor my acquaintances are involved in violent crime.

It matters.
