70 years since the last nuclear bomb. So why are we so afraid of north korea and Iran using bombs? according to statistics, the chances of nuclear bomb killing anyone is effectively zero.
Right, because thats not risk assessment work. You cant neglect the potential harm from stats.
Because Muslims aren't nukes.
But you think lawnmowers have the sentient capacity to cause mass destruction and societal uproar?
No, I think that lawnmower use can be dangerous, which should prompt a certain degree of caution. This is supported by statistics on lawnmower injuries and fatalities. By comparison, the use of lawnmowers is more likely to result in a fatality than allowing a Muslim immigrant into the country.
Incidentally, literally any person with a weapon (especially a gun) has the sentient capacity to cause mass destruction and societal uproar (see the Vegas shooting for the most recent example), so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make there.
This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts.
