Gun Deaths, Terrorism

Trump, and the Republican party, are engaging in fearmongering of the worst kind. They want you to think there's a Muslim terrorist hiding behind every bush, and that every Muslim American wants to impose sharia law on the country. This graph puts the risk of death by terrorism in perspective:



Chances of death this year of an American in the U.S. at the hands of a terrorist: 1 in 3.6 million. Chances of death this year of an American in the U.S. at the hands of a refugee: 1 in 3.6 billion.
