You know, whenever a kid gets accidentally shot, I think of all the other 359x359 directions the bullet could have gone and wonder how many millions of stray shots are flying around.

New years in some places are literally Russian roulette.

What do you mean?

I would assume he's referencing the number of celebratory gunfire incidents. There are a lot of holes in roofs, cars, and every now and again people from people shooting guns in the air for celebration. There is a non-zero chance that one of those bullets will have enough power to do serious bodily harm. Scary as hell bc it can be some idiot within 3 miles putting lives at risk
