True, which would have 100 kill 15,611 as I think 2,966 was exact number Muslims on 9-11 killed.

What?! The article you cited has nothing to do with that poster's comment.

Letting in unchecked numbers of unvetted, violent foreigners with a radically different culture and no real desire to assimilate. Tell me again-just how DID that work out for the "native Americans"?

The history of man is war.

No country, not just US, was not conquered by someone. Every single country by the same token is illegally occupied.

Lets assume 1% of 10k are the same; 100 of them = 1,612 innocent deaths. 32 per state.
So does this mean you'd support gun control, at least as one means to reduce violence?

Well actually you did hit on it, unintentionally it seems, although it is not about fear. It's about freedom and choice of deciding for yourself how you want to live. They are not coming here to assimilate but to subjugate this population under Islam and Sharia Law. They won't kill you as long as you are willing to submit.
It's not a double standard at all. The Native Americans didn't invite the Europeans. We are inviting our future unrest and destruction of western values.

Gun control is hardly a means with terrorists. Once they are here, it is over.

I just wonder how many people who feel this way actually have Muslim friends (as I do). No Muslim I know wants to subjugate anyone to anything. They just want to live their life.

Dylann Roof is proof of that.
