.0045% is the percentage of murders by gun as compared to US population, as I just calculated it. 2017 is the last year we have data for, 39,773 gun deaths total. 37% were murders. I counted our population as 325 million, which might be a little low.
This too is not as reported. More than 50% committed by 13% of the population? No way Jose. Black males ages 16-45 are the ones committing the violent crime. That's substantially less than 6.5% of the population, committing more than half.
The really interesting thing is the OP tweet is the 12 per 100,000 that matches Switzerland's "0" is all gun deaths including cops and suicides. The murder rate is 37% of that. And rifles (including shotguns) are 6% of that. But ooh gotta ban those scary AR-14's!

Yeah, I corrected it. It's now right.

His math is fine, he got the same answer you did. He didn't express it as a %
