Hope Trumpmos and shitcons will remember that next time they decide to throw half the country into chaos.

BTW, we should probably go after furniture next....I heard Pence has been given the lead on that EO.

The chance of an average person living in the US being struck by lightning in a given year is estimated at 1 in 960,000.[12]

You think the odds of an American being killed by a terrorist, including San Bernadino, Orlando, etc., are higher than that?

So why even do it that way? Shouldn't you also include people who were injured in terrorist attacks as well? Even then that would be a false equivalency, since some people are struck by lightning but end up completely fine--it should realistically be anyone who was killed, injured, or could have been killed/injured in a terrorist attack.

Finally an actual argument....but I think our pre-Trump policies and vetting (about 20k Muslim refugees per year) is satisfactory to keep the population dispersed enough in a country of 320mm to never have your end game come to fruition. I'd expect that we could continue our pre-Trump policies for another 50 years and never have more than a few isolated terrorist incidents per year like we do now.

There are very few muslims in the US. They dont have that critical mass to be sprouting off too many extremists. We also get a higher caliber of migrant than Europe since they have to actually buy plane tickets to get here and not come over on a rubber boat. Most of the Arabs in the US are Christians Arabs. That's why terrorism is rare. But keep letting them in and we will go all like Sweden.

Nassim Taleb did an in-depth deconstruction of these arguments.

Cars kill more people than either terrorists or lightning, he argues, but why not ban cars?

We need cars to do things, but we don't need terrorists or lightning. And even if terrorists or lightning add a small risk, small risks are additive over your life-span, and enough small risks decrease group longevity, and are disastrous for those who get "picked" to suffer from those risks. And putting up lightning rods and saying "no muslims" when it comes to immigration are relatively cheap and easy relative to the cost of doing it.

Libs love the lightning argument because they also love lightning, HIV, and various other things that are totally avoidable and kill you easily for no reason. Libs are suicidal.
