Menson if you spent that time going for a run you'd do more to increase your life expectancy than preparing for some sort of Wild West showdown on the prairie or whatever weird hick fantasy it is you're clinging to.

lets do maths.

ok so...215,000 Americans died in combat in the Civil War.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Sta ... ies_of_war

the US population in 1860 was 31,500,000.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1860_United_States_Census

meaning that during the Civil War .7% of the population was killed in combat.

Now it's hard to say for sure but a conservative estimate is that half of all combat casualties were caused by artillery, meaning that .35% of the population were shot and killed during the Civil War.

what Britboy is saying is that I am 4 times more likely to be shot and killed than someone living during the bloodiest war in American history.

Yikes, thats some lawyer math there buddy.

First, civil war you are looking at a 4 year period. This statistic is measuring your LIFETIME, so roughly 80 year period.
Second, this statistic includes suicides. Your civil war deaths count almost certainly does not include every domestic suicide at the time.

It's entirely plausible. Say the average person today lives to 100. 30k gun deaths, 300M population, assume both grow correspondingly.

30k x 100 = 3 million.

3 million is 1% of 300 million.

Boom.
