What do you think about the statistic that in America there is a loaded gun pointed at you 45% of the time?
Loaded guns in America are pointed at people in passing cars, other houses and apartments, on the persons, almost half the lifetime of the average American there is a loaded gun pointed directly at them.
Many Americans are looking at a loaded gun right now, or have one (or more) within 15 feet of them. Other Americans just shot a loaded gun, and sadly the statistics show that most likely someone was just killed or badly injured by gunfire.
What do Americans think, and feel, about being the target of a gun 45 percent of their lifetimes?

Directly at you on in your general direction?
Within effective range of you or simply pointed in your direction on the same continent?
100% of Americans have a loaded gun pointed (aimed) directly at them within that guns effective range 45% of the time.
I suspect that is false. While I am not dead yet I am certain that there has been no loaded gun aimed at me for the last 25 or so years. If there has been than my wife or my neighbor has some explaining to do.
On the other hand is there a loaded gun somewhere within the confines of the continental US placed at rest with it's barrel pointed in the general direction of the state or even county which I reside in? That is almost certainly true but of no consequence.

Since you don't cite a source I'd have to say it's false.
