Terrorists, dogs and guns

[JoeB131]

You would absolutely think that we had hundreds of people dead in the streets from terrorists the way that some people are carrying on.

But the reality is, only 45 Americans within the United States have been killed by Islamic Terrorists since 2002. 27 of those deaths were linked to two incidents, the Fort Hood Massacre and San Bernadino.

By comparison, from 2005 to 2014, DOGS have caused the deaths of 326 Americans. Yet you don't see Donald Trump screaming we need to deport all the dogs. You don't even get a lot of support for just banning dangerous breeds like Pit Bulls.

Don't give me that innocent look.


Okay, one more Stat just for fun. Let's look at the number of Americans killed by guns in the last decade. This would include most of the 45 deaths by terrorists listed above and none of the deaths by Dog.

Number of gun deaths since 2005? 279,976.

Seems we are getting upset about the wrong things....

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Not again. Lol. What else could we compare? How many gnats have died in the last 15 years.

 

[AVG-JOE]

Good riddance. Who gives a flying fuck about gnats?

No one gives a shit about joes comparison or gnats.

Unless you've been promoted to God recently, you can't possibly know that.

If you don't care about Joe's threads, there are plenty of others for you to enjoy.

I'll enjoy whatever threads I want to peruse. Good riddance.

Exactly!

Why not add in the ones who were killed on 9/11, you dishonest POS. Those people count too.

 

[ChrisL]

What does that bring the total to?

Once again a thoughtful post is met with a thoughtless one. You are nothing if not predictable LBT.

Because that was 14 years ago. I was talking about JUST THE LAST DECADE.

Now, in the last decade, you haven't had a 9/11, mostly because they finally secured the airports.

I know, what a concept. Actually keeping weapons out of places they shouldn't be.

Exactly or, hey, look at it in terms of per capita statistics, as we should be when assessing relative risk associated with bringing in x amount of people.

"Non Muslim extremists killed more than Muslims." Well no shit, Sherlock, Muslims are less than 1% of the population.

Start a thread about guns and the nutters come out of the woodwork with nonsensical comparisons.

Fact is, domestic terrorists - white supremacists, kkk, gun nutters and other anti-America hate groups are much more dangerous to us than ISIL.

That was 14 years ago. And while it would have been nice to avoid that tragedy, which Bush couldn't be bothered to do, we are talking about the here and now.

You guys talk about how apparently in the here and now we need to throw out the first Amendment (instead of sensibly reading the Second to mean militias) and persecute millions of people of a certain religion because a handful of them have killed all of 45 people in the last decade.

But you don't want to do anything about the hundreds of thousands of people killed in the last decade by guns because a slave rapist 200 years ago couldn't write a militia amendment clearly.

Regardless, your comparisons are retarded. Keep up the good work!

To include the 3,000 who were murdered on 09-11-2001 we need to change the thread title to Terrorists, dogs, guns and commercial aircraft used as flying bombs.

Does it really matter if it was a gun or a plane when the end result is the same? The fact of the matter is, even if there were NO guns, there would still be terrorist attacks.

Okay, let's look at that. There are 8 million Muslims in the United States right now.

The incidents involved 9 shootings with maybe one or two assalaints. So 10 people out of 8 million have been involved in incidents. SO we are really talking about one in a million.

So we can probably let in one million Syrian Refugees before we get the one who might actually commit a terrorist act decades from now if he is upset about our stupid policies.

We've only had this comparison 42000 times now. Brevity is in order for a response. Thanks again for your incessant hissy fit.
