This isn't hard. If you think you'll need your gun when you open the door, don't open the door.

America's gun problem often mixes dangerously with America's mental health problem. It's far too easy for unstable people to get deadly weapons, but seeing a therapist is not only heavily socially stigmatized by boomers, it's also expensive, because our health industry is total jive.

The problem is clear. We have to ban jihadists, immigrants, terrorists, toddlers, lightning, lawnmowers, buses, and beds.
They forgot the GREATEST possible gun violence statistic: number of men dead from self inflicted crotch shots.
You look at that thing and only see the bottom?
Fewer than 3,000 people were killed on 9/11, and nearly 400 of those weren't Americans. Even if you add in the ~1400 rescue workers who died in the following fifteen years from post-9/11 complications and consider all ~1200 Manhattanites who had been diagnosed with cancer due to exposure as dead that still only gets you to maybe 6300.
Assuming the rest of the trends in that chart are similar, that would mean all other Americans killed by foreign terrorists over thirty years would amount to fewer than ten.
11,737 > 6,310

You're right, I got it wrong. It says "annually", not over the last ten years, so more Americans are killed by other Americans in one year than by terrorists in 30.
And the number killed by terrorists annually over the last 30 is still less than some of the things almost no one worries about.
