Americans are more afraid of terrorism than they are of shootings by fellow Americans, despite the fact that guns are 3,210 times more likely to kill them.
People have clearly been conditioned to fear the wrong enemy, chiefly by Republicans solely for political gain. 
Jihadists killed 94 people inside the United States between 2005 and 2015. During that same time period, 301,797 people in the US were shot dead by American citizens. 
But you'll never hear a Republican calling for gun control pretending that the second amendment is some edict from God.  Instead they fan the fears of the chronically ignorant about terrorism.
