When do 140,000 American lives not matter?

When do 140,000 American lives not matter?

A recent study has shown that between 2002 and 2013,  141,796 Americans have died in gun violence in this country. 141,796 mothers and fathers, brothers, sisters, children, friends. In that same time period only 263 Americans died in attacks by “terrorists.” If you are offended by those quotation marks, please ask yourself … Of what, and of whom, should we really be afraid?
