You are much more likely to be killed in anger by another American than by a member of ISIS yet Americans go ape about Muslims coming to kill us and are willing to give up civil liberties on that score. It is amazing to me that many Americans will accept government eavesdropping and surveillance but not some sensible gun control laws. It shows you how messed up their priorities are.
