Today’s Statistic (January 29, 2023)

From today's NYT:

Victims of mass shootings make up about 1 percent of overall gun deaths in the United States, according to federal gun homicide data analyzed by the advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety. The risk of dying in a mass shooting is even lower in California, the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California recently found. Nationally, suicides account for just over half of all gun deaths.

Note: To be thorough, I oughta check out the credentials of two organizations cited above. I did not because I thought if anything the Times would have used the least conservative numbers. The data on suicides came from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
