Pretty slim in the US or most of Europe and Asia. If you are in Africa or the Middle East you would have a significantly higher risk. Still relatively small though, you're much more likely to die in a car acccident than from a random gunman.

What is probability of a shot child?

If you mean the odds of a child in the US being shot- actually, very low- and has been getting lower for several years. Some groups with a political agenda claim there are more deaths from children being shot than there are ALL deaths of children- so check your sources carefully- and see how they define "Child". Assuming child means a human under 18 years old, there about 74.5 million of them in the US (some groups consider a 26 year old to be a child) The FBI Uniform Crime Report shows 454 murders of children, with about 20% being shot. That is about 1 in 818,000. However, the odds of a child being shot goes up if you live in a high crime city, belong to a gang, or commit criminal acts.

Why do some people love guns and some hate them?

Some people love guns because honestly, it's fun shooting random defenseless objects. Some people hate guns because sometimes those random defenseless objects are people.Some people dislike guns because of the effect and, if being fired on, the little chance of survival there is. Unless you are close enough to disarm them, or they run out of bullets, or are a horrible shot, what chance is there against an 800 mph propelled object?

In what year were President Reagan and the pope shot?

The year was 1981. President Ronald Reagan was shot at on March 30, 1981 by a lone gunman (John Hinckley, Jr.) and suffered an injury from a ricochet. The gunman was overwhelmed by security and taken into custody. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity but remains in psychiatric custody as of 2011. Pope John Paul II was shot on May 13, 1981. His would-be assassin (Mehmet Ali Ağca, a Turkish gunman) hit the pope in the abdomen. Despite extreme blood loss, the pope would survive and make a nearly full recovery. The gunman was captured on site and sentenced to life in prison. He served 19 years in Italy and 10 years in Turkey on an earlier murder conviction, and was released in January, 2010.
