ysk: 19 Million Americans Have Thought About Shooting Someone
Why YSK: In the U.S. it's best not to pick a fight (or let someone else get a rise out of you) when it's clear how many Americans think about murder. According to this study on ScienceBlog.com http://ScienceBlog.com (Prevalence of Thoughts of Shooting Others Among US Adults Brian M. Hicks, PhD; Mark A. Ilgen, PhD), more than 19 million adults in the United States have, at some point in their lives, seriously thought about shooting another person https://scienceblog.com/19-million-americans-have-thought-about-shooting-someone/. That is not a projection or a worst-case modelling exercise. It is the prevalence figure from a nationally representative survey of over 7,000 people, conducted in 2025 by researchers at the University of Michigan. Nineteen million. And in the past year alone, the number was closer to 8.7 million, or roughly one in every 30 adults.
