Oh right. Why not point out your self deleted OP. Or were the unanimous negative comments from anti-gun DUers just too much to handle?

It is such a shitty comparison. Yes people died, but not on the scale of 9/11. The intelligence community would have to get really lazy and stupid for another 9/11 to happen. No, they will be smaller attacks like the one yesterday in France (154 lives lost) or in GB in 2005 (56 lives lost), or Mumbai in 2008 (166 lives lost), etc.
