"It's rather amusing though. Approximately 150,000 people are murdered in this country every year by our own citizens. The majority with guns. We've never spent this much time, money or "control" of a persons civil rights trying to prevent it either. "

"My comment was meant to make you all THINK about how many lives we've lost due to terrorism VS how many old fashioned murders we have every year. It's OK for us to kill each other, but we'll be damned if we let an extremist muslim do it. "

Those two statements are about as assinine as they come. 1,.the presumption that it is OK with the American people. 2. that relating the behavior of people to the use of an inanimate object. 3. comparing death statistics that do not list the top 10 reasons for prventable death . 4. When the cost of all related prevention measures are added up it makes the cost of the war on terror look like a blue light special. Again you substitute emotion for facts and logic.
