Terrorism facts are there. But nobody believe or can see that.

This is my initial thought on this:

Figure was there probably 10+ years. But strangely nobody knew about it.

It was very strange. Because whenever some mass shooting(or similar thing) was happening in United States of America, I am hearing it's terrorist attack--probably all the time.
I don't really read any newspaper or news websites but I still get the news from my facebook or twitter timeline.
Also I can see so many blame going on toward to Muslim.


But once in a while, I saw this kind of post:

This is actually nothing new because it probably has been there after 9/11.
Here is the other one that I've seen it before--at least, a few years ago.

Those stats were all came from government so it was very reliable source.

I can't remember when I've seen similar one before. (I'm not digging up this time.) But every year government release that stats so I can guess--probably exist around 2012 or 2013.


More recent one you can easily find in CNN website:

This is tweet from CNN:

Gun violence was almost 1,000+ times more but they don't seem to bother....

1,000+ times more were exclude year 2001 stats. Include year 2001--it became 100+ times more.

BBC news said like this:

According to figures from the US Department of Justice and the Council on Foreign Affairs, 11,385 people died on average annually in firearm incidents in the US between 2001 and 2011.
In the same period, an average of 517 people were killed annually in terror-related incidents. Removing 2001, when 9/11 occurred, from the calculation produces an annual average of just 31.
quote from Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence - BBC News @ 5 January 2016

And you can read BBC's article--Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence - BBC News @ 5 January 2016, which you can find about the statistics behind violence--such as mass shootings, school shootings, homicide rate, etc.

So above figure prove this statement was right:

Gun violence and terrorism: The US spends more than a trillion dollars per year defending itself against terrorism, which kills a tiny fraction of the number of people killed by ordinary gun crime.

If you do google search about gun violence, you can get this kind of result:

If I talked about this, it will be long. So I will just quote my tweet and

you can go Gun Violence Archive website and see it yourself.

And you can see year summary from Past Summary Ledgers in Gun Violence Archive website.

Now is year 2017 and one month was passed. As you can see their homepage--incidents were more than five thousands already.

So you think those people were all killed by terrorist--Muslim?



I will keep this screenshot of past year's stats--for just in case.
