By that same measure and logic... the pseudo-assault rifle is but a tiny fraction of gun crime. It's a bee sting... right?
Ah.....a logical conversation. Good. So those who carry epi injectors to survive a bee sting make a conscious precaution to stay alive, even though the risk is low. So when folks want background checking periods which allow those on terrorist and no fly lists to be checked, it seems like a precaution which is rational and even thought the risk is low, it makes sense. However, the idea that we declare war on ISIS has no measure of logic or rational thinking when the result is bombing civilians and innocents which gives reason to folks to retaliate against our innocents. If Americans had lost hundreds of thousands of innocents because some more powerful nation made the conclusion that they could bomb folks in this country who defied that nation's right to Invade and control America.....do you think for a moment that Americans would not fight back. So the question is should we be declaring war and dropping more bombs, or should we be withdrawing from the middle east where the killing of innocents who help contribute to terrorist attacks continues and some want it expanded. I think the rational decision is to cut and run, and let the Saudis and Israelis defend themselves with their people........we will NEVER stop terrorism as long as we are actively killing civilians in Iraq, Afghanastan, and Syria. Let us make rational choices.
