• Number of gun deaths on American soil since 11 September 2001: > 350,000
• Number of deaths at the hands of terrorists on American soil since 11 September 2001: between 48 and 74, depending on the source and depending on what constitutes a "terrorist" death.
That's just terrible. I think we should look at it. Your starting point is 911. Interesting. Let's move forward. You claim 350,000. Let's do the math.
Calculating……………..ummm………….that's 23,333 a year. More Americans than were murdered in Afghanistan. More Americans who were slaughtered in Iraq.
More Americans are killed in America than soldiers are killed defending our nation. That's interesting. Let's move forward.
Only 48 to 74 Americans were murdered by foreign or domestic terrorists since 11 September 2001, when they murdered over 3,000 mothers and daughters and sons and nieces and nephews and Jews and Muslims and Christians and Republicans and democrats. Let's move forward.
Where are all these Americans being murdered? Where are they gunning down Americans in America? Los Angeles? Chicago? Atlanta? Baltimore? New Orleans? Detroit?
How many cities? 10? 20? 30? MORE?
How many in each city? 100? 200? 300? 400?
WHO RUNS THESE CITIES? Whose in charge? How long have they been in charge? How comes it's still not right? Who has been running these cities for over 50 years? WHO'S BEEN RUNNING THIS THING FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS?
WOW! I'm gonna sit back and think about it for a minute. Before I go running back to Media Matters.
