A new Kaiser Family Foundation poll finds 21% of Americans say they have personally been threatened with a gun, 19% say a family member was killed by a gun (including death by suicide), and 17% have personally witnessed someone being shot.
Smaller shares have personally shot a gun in self-defense (4%) or been injured in a shooting (4%).
In total, 54% of all U.S. adults say they or a family member have ever had one of these experiences.
These numbers are truly insane.
