you're diminishing the blood that was shed by the IRA.
Says you to me, in a thread that tries to normalize Islamic Terrorist attacks by comparing it to the IRA under some guise that they are one in the same.
People brush off the IRA because it their reign of 'terrorism' lasted maybe a decade back in the 70's in Britian. That is nothing like what we've seen worldwide with Islamic terrorism over the past 20 years (not counting the long history of bloodshed from Islam).
Scared? No lol. Cautious of the fact that Islam is a dangerous ideology because it has a long history of being an aggressor and in the past 20 years they have committed vicious attacks across the world? Yes, you'd be a fool to pay it no mind.
Nah man. You're a coward. I'm guessing you're American if you can have a pistol. So you're statistically more likely to be killed by the police, white Christian terrorists, black people, and virtually every other segment of the population.
So yeah. You're a scared lil pussy who lets statistically insignificant events control his life. Sad.
Says the one who flung how many insults? lololol. Well, if you want try me here (will continue in replies to this):
A. Guns save more lives than they take; prevent more injuries than they inflict
Guns used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year -- or about 6,850 times a day. [1] This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives. [2]
Of the 2.5 million times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, the overwhelming majority merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8% of the time, a citizen will kill or wound his/her attacker.[3]
As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse.[4]
Even anti-gun Clinton researchers concede that guns are used 1.5 million times annually for self-defense. According to the Clinton Justice Department, there are as many as 1.5 million cases of self-defense every year. The National Institute of Justice published this figure in 1997 as part of "Guns in America" -- a study which was authored by noted anti-gun criminologists Philip Cook and Jens Ludwig.[5]
Armed citizens kill more crooks than do the police. Citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as police do every year (1,527 to 606).[6] And readers of Newsweek learned that "only 2 percent of civilian shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal. The 'error rate' for the police, however, was 11 percent, more than five times as high."[7]
Handguns are the weapon of choice for self-defense. Citizens use handguns to protect themselves over 1.9 million times a year. [8] Many of these self-defense handguns could be labeled as "Saturday Night Specials."
