Shooting at Navy center
- Thread starter Glock 21
- Start date
Oh probably, but the point is that people get all worried about statistically insignificant events, while totally ignoring the stuff has has a much, much greater likelihood of killing you.
Guns are a great example We need an encyclopedia sized book of gun laws that govern every aspect of mechanical ability, size, length, age restrictions, place to carry, if you can carry, colors you gun can be, etc etc etc etc..ad nauseum, yet people aren't that scared of heart disease which is hundreds of more times likely to kill you and it's much more preventable.

No need to be a dick. I'll respond to a civilly posed question.
My point is that it is still incredibly unlikely (just as unlikely as it was in the 80's...may less so according to FBI violent crime stats) of being killed in a shooting than it is to be killed by a drunk driver.
In other words, for the logically challenged, it's still a pretty damned safe place to live..regardless of the sensationalized news you have read to you.
Just got a Fox News alert confirming Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez as the shooter.
Wow, you're number than a bagful of hammers. I said " this would sure as shit kill him" not he would be killed by it. The fact that there were terrorist attacks on American soil.. you need a remedial reading comprehension course ..

No, I understood what you said. So, he would be upset by a statistically insignificant event as it somehow implies that the US has gone into the shitter? I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
4 dead Marines equal an "insignificant" .. I'd like to see you see you say that to the faces of the parents of the dead Maines.. that was a dumb thing to say.
lol, sure thing.
Ok, let me break it down another way. If 500,000 people die every year, 499,996 die from cobra bites, and 4 of them die from being struck by meteorites...the 4 that died from meteorite strikes represent a statistically insignificant value in the comparison. For the challenged, that doesn't mean that they weren't wonderful and significant people, it means that mathematically their cause of death was less significant than the 499,996 that died of cobra bites.
First grade stats class is over.

I think the real point here is that your timing sucks.
Did he have a Rebel Flag? No?? Oh thank God !! I thought it might have been some sort of "Racist" attack...
I think they found some no-go zones though. Red represents Muslim no go zones.Did he have a Rebel Flag? No?? Oh thank God !! I thought it might have been some sort of "Racist" attack...
Cobra attacks and Meteors are an act of nature or stupidity, Why don't you compare apples to carburetors ? This was a blatant attack on US soil. ANY attack against Americans on American soil is pretty "significant". Maybe it's not a big deal to you, but when 4 brothers die, it's a "big deal" to me..
Are you afraid of shark attacks?
Are you afraid of getting crushed by a falling vending machine?
Are you afraid of getting shot by a punk kid?
