Very rough back of the envelope calculations..... Family size, assuming average number of children 2.1 (that's probably an optimistic estimate), consider "family" to be spouse, children, parents, cousins, nieces and nephews.. average "family" size ~8.51. So, 1 in 5 people having a family member killed by gun would mean something like 1 in 42.55 being killed by a gun some time during their lives. Total person years that the average "family" has been alive for would be something like ~350 years (sum of the ages of grandparents (80), adults (45) and children (22)), which would mean for the 1 in 5 stat to work out, the homicide rate would need to be something like 1 in 1750 (5 * 351.52). That would imply a homicide rate of ~57, which is higher than the homicide rates of even the most violent countries (US Virgin Islands and Jamaica... niggers). The homicide rate for whites is somewhere around 2 per 100000, for urban niggers, it's something like 25 per 100000. Even inner city niggers wouldn't be likely to have a family member who was killed with a gun at a rate of 1 in 5, though the larger number of nigglets would effect the calculous, but do you exclude the absent fathers?.
