I made this argument about 9/11. 3000 died and panic and alarm resulted in a clamp down on our privacy, and police become military -- the Patriot Act -- like never seen before.
Yet over 40,000 die from car accidents a year, and where's the alarm?
Now more die from opioids each year, than car accidents. There is alarm over that. Now people in real need of pain medication are being denied.
Personally, people can make guns in their garage. And bombs. We're never gonna stop that. (The gun manufacture's are most alarmed over 3D printed guns).
I'm more alarmed over human nature ... and ... the power of mythology & religion. But even Jesus couldn't do anything about that ... so far.
If we reacted to mythology and religion, like we did to 9/11, we would ban all of them forever.
Oh ... I forgot ... religion is protected by the constitution ... like guns. What was our founding fathers thinkin'?
