Agreed.You are correct - on a day to day basis the average American is FAR more likely to be killed on the street by a criminal - than by a terrorist. And taking into account typical terrorist targets - anybody who thinks about it can probably reduce their exposure to getting killed by a terrorist to practically ZERO .... EVER.
What Obama is very conveniently refusing to discuss - is the WHERE of where all those murders are coming from.
Because if he actually confronted that - it would be a shit storm.
Short version: VIOLENT CRIMINALS are a greater threat than terrorism. (not "guns")
Replace the inanimate object with the type of person in question. Then we're comparing dangerous actors to dangerous actors, not objects to actors.
