“the # of people who die from gun-related incidents around this country dwarfs any deaths that happen through terrorism,” - Ignorant Baboon

George, the number of deaths due to gun violence is bigger. Partially because of jackass cunt bags like you.
Now, when the number is way bigger, saying it dwarfs it is correct. The ignoramus here is you, and I hope you rot.
@ Citizen Justin: that's kind of what I was getting at--that the statement that there were more gun deaths than terrorist deaths in the US was correct and that Zimmerman is an epic toolbag who hates it being brought up, fact or no. Which seems par for the course since (CSB time, kids) not a day ago I had a conversation with someone who told me he didn't think firearm-related death statistics should be kept or published publicly because, and I quote here, "It causes too many people to develop inaccurate ideas about firearms." One of which is the actual number of people who die by them every year, apparently. Or that they're dangerous if mishandled.
Apparently math and record-keeping are part of a liberal conspiracy now.
As if there was any doubt that George Zimmerman was in any way racist, all you have to do is read his Twitter feed.
And yes, gun-related deaths still dwarf deaths from terrorism. Look at the stats for the past 15 years, and even taking 9/11 into account we still have far more gun deaths.

And, as we can see, soon NRA members won't be able to use that old "more people die in car accidents" chestnut.
Not only is it true that terrorism barely even claims victims today, but if you were to call sovereign citizens or militia movements terrorists, they would by far be the deadliest in the USA. You know, the guys who claim the government has no right to take their weapons, despite clearly not being trustworthy enough to have them.
It's not a conspiracy, it's just multiplication. A terrorist attack kills more people than a gun accident, but there are far more gun accidents.
And more people die in auto accidents than both of them together, for the same reason.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
