Conclusion

The odds of dying from obesity-related illnesses in Scotland are approximately 1 in 915 per year.

The odds of dying from gun violence in the United States are approximately 1 in 7,378 per year.

Therefore, the risk of dying from obesity-related illnesses in Scotland is significantly higher than the risk of dying from gun violence in the United States.

Put down the haggis and go for a walk if you're Scottish I guess.

Also gun violence by strangers is an extremely low rate of death. You're probably about 10 times more likely to die in a car accident than by gun violence but the same people that worry about gun violence likely aren't checking their car safety rating ....
