There is a huge difference in risk associated with life and comparing those to terrorist activities. Twist the numbers to fall into your unintellible thought process which makes no sense. I don't think you have a problem with hypocrisy, you seem to have a problem with common sense.

Cooking: still legal.

In 1998, 30,708 people died from gun fire.

In 2002, 2,443,387 died total from various cause in this country.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness: still legal...for now.



Except for the gunfire stats (which could be a wnole nother argument in itself) -

- How many of those deaths were murders motivated by religious fanaticism?

none, thank you. accidental deaths have nothing to do with this argument.



The point of these numbers is to show that we are in far more danger from ourselves than we are from terrorists at this point.
More US citizens are killed by guns in our own country in one year then have ever been killed by terrorists on US soil. Can we profile them? Nope! Far to large and politically powerful group. Whisper anything about gun control and you generate a sh1tstorm of cries about rights being violated.
Now I don't have a problem with peoples right to bear arms, I have a problem with hypocrisy.






Sorry you don't get it. Fear can be blinding.
