7. Thanks...only one terrorist attack I disagree with...

the beltway shooters, although terrifying.....they had no agenda except to kill...that was a spree killing

3. Americans with guns...

are more terrifying than terrorists!

4. PLEASE SOURCE

5. Looks like CDC and State Dept.

CNN has a (one year) newer chart here that credits the sources as "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, US State Department".

8. 2/3 of those gun deaths are self-inflicted by suicide....

....I don't consider that "gun violence" any more then I do people who hang themselves or jump off bridges victims of "rope violence" or "bridge violence".

9. I disagree, please show documentation of this statement

11. Disagree based on what? A gut feeling or...?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States


33,636 deaths due to "injury by firearms" (10.6 deaths per 100,000 U.S. citizens).[4] These deaths consisted of 11,208 homicides,[5] 21,175 suicides,[4] 505 deaths due to accidental or negligent discharge of a firearm, and 281 deaths due to firearms use with "undetermined intent"

10. Okay. Then it is 135,363 to 3,380. 40x. nt

12. Which is not surprising given the numbers..

80 million gun owners and how many terrorists?
