Which individual poses a bigger threat to the american population?

niether poses a significant threat. There's millions of us, and usually no more than 12 of them. What are they going to do, murder a few thousand if they're extremely crafty? We're fighting two full scale wars based on the acts of a tiny group of people. It's insane. The Taliban government in Afghanistan was as stable as Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Now look what we did. Benazir Bhutto is murdered, there's chaos in both countries, to the point where the war on Afghanistan is becoming the war on Pakistan and Iran. I'm glad we have a sane president to deal with all this. Gun violence is completely unrelated. I agree, people don't need guns. If you read the second amendment it's pretty cut and dry. "for the purposes of a well armed militia ... the right to bear arms shall not be infringed upon." we have a military now, we don't use "militias". Guns only function is to shoot people. They're useless.
