1,000 deaths over "five decades" is 20 people a year.

Meanwhile, 68,000 Americans die every single year because they can't get medical help.

The numbers don't lie. Ted Cruz does, though.

The threat from Iran has been consistently overstated.

The 1983 Beirut barracks bombing killed 241 American servicemen. (Hezbollah)
The 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, 19 US airmen killed. (Hezbollah)
Various attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria.

That's essentially it.

1. In 5 decades, how many Americans have been killed in mass shootings

where the shooter was an American?

Over the course of 5 decades? I'd be shocked if the number isn't far greater than 1000.

But somehow we should go to war in Iran and not deal with our gun fetish problem at home?

2. Both the OP and your addition need traction

Both are win-win for our positions.

And be ready to add in ICE killings (in the street AND in detainment), even if they need to project them for 50 years. That's got to be getting close too.
