I read this news clip on the ABC site this morning. In the wake of yet another mass shooting, President Obama asked for statistics regarding gun violence in comparison to terrorism. The following chart really highlight the disproportion of efforts and finance in these two.

Terrorism:
Between 1970 and 2014, a total of 3,521 deaths which includes 3000 deaths in the Twin Towers terror act.

Gun Violence:
For the year 2015, there are 9,940 death ! And there are still a few more months left yet

Barking up the wrong tree ?
