According to the FBI, in 2007:
-There were 467 violent crimes for every 100k people, representing 1.408 million crimes.
-Of those 1.408 million crimes, 29.35% were verifiably committed with a gun
Thus:
-One in 214 people will be a victim of a violent crime
-One in 730 people will be a victim of a violent crime committed with a gun
Violent Crime - Crime in the United States 2007
Given that, who are more paranoid:
-The people that look at the crime rate and want a gun for self-defense
-The people that look at the crime rate involving guns and want more gun control
