I'd be just as worried about a blond haired, blue-eyed couple with a stockpile of guns and ammo living next door to me. Anyone who thinks people who wish to do us harm look or talk a certain way is being naive, since murderers come in all flavors, but the rhetoric certain politicians are using is certainly inciting fear and bigotry in this country. Anyone who can add 2 plus 2 can figure this out:

YEAR 2013

10,076 deaths due to drunk drivers in the U.S.

Impaired Driving: Get the Facts | Motor Vehicle Safety | CDC Injury Center

8,476 deaths due to drunk driving in Florida 2003-2012

http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafet...ving_in_fl.pdf

YEAR 2015

49,413 incidents of gun violence in the U.S.
12,511 deaths

SEE MAP FOR INCIDENTS BY STATE

I am certainly not saying people should ignore the recent massacre in Calif. We all should be aware of any suspicious activity in our communities, but you've got a significantly better chance of being killed by a motorist or shot during a road rage incident than being murdered by a radical Islamic terrorist.

Robert Dear is neither a Muslim nor an illegal immigrant and he shot innocent people in Colorado, including a police officer. James Holmes was not Muslim or here illegally and he was convicted on 24 counts of murder in a movie theater. Adam Lanza murdered 20 little kids and 6 adults and, as far as I know, he was not Muslim or an illegal immigrant. Dylan Roof is not Muslim or in the U.S. illegally and he shot 9 people in a church during a Bible study. Jared Lee Loughner is not Muslim or illegal and he pleaded guilty to 19 counts of murder and attempted murder in Arizona.

Again, I'm not saying there aren't foreigners who want to kill Americans or that it isn't a concern, but I just listed the 5 men above from memory and there were over 350 mass shootings in 2015, so I'm talking about statistics.
It's BS that there have been 325 mass shootings in 2015. Gang bangers and criminal on criminal is not a mass shooting.
Tell you what, I won't use stats from the NRA, and you don't use stats from this rabid anti gun group GVA
