That's 100 times more than I thought.

You thought only one person a year died during break ins gone wrong? Vending machines kill more than that.

Legalizing vending-machine concealed carry was our first mistake.

you f around with a vending machine and it will f back... usually by falling on the poor shmuck

This logic does not follow from or to "That's 100 times more than I thought." You can be both horrified at something and also understand that it is thing that happens.

Genuinely believing that only one person in America dies in a home invasion is hard to take seriously.

I imagine most preteens in America have a better grasp of reality than the one you’re espousing here.

I just checked UK stats and from my reading of ONS's homicide data it's entirely possible it's around zero from burglary gone wrong.

The us is only 5 times bigger

IIRC hand guns are slightly harder to obtain in the UK. And also slightly less legal for civilians to own.

The us has a population of about 340,000,100. Notice where the 1 is.

Tangential but I think that's a terrible way of making your point because intuitively we don't look at digits of a numbers and think log scale. That looks more like 1/3 instead of 0.000029%.
