Read this and come back with some lie or distortion.
Now you are just trying to lie (badly). Most terrorist deaths occurred at the World Trade Center in the building and not on the plane. Some dead at an embassy, some more dead on a navy ship, some more dead alongside a road, a couple of dead on the streets of New York City, some more dead on a cruise ship, some dead on a bus, some dead on a train...notice how your numbers only talk about planes and now you look very stupid.

We need to separate the probability that an event may occur in our country and the probability that it will occur to us as individuals. In making an informed decision about my own behavior, I need to know the probability that I will be personally affected by a terrorist act, not what the probability is that such an act may occur at some place and some time.
We each have many opportunities to take various actions each day. Each opportunity has multiple choices and multiple outcomes. Each of us must independently make our own decisions, but we are being given incomplete information on which to base these decisions. As a result we may have been unnecessarily cautious.
The economic cost to our nation in lost expenditures, resulting in lost jobs and lost businesses, has been enormous. While the impact of any potential event on any one of us is slight, the impact of the sum of our individual behaviors is great. There is a key question that we need to consider: What are the odds that I, myself, will be at the exact wrong place at the exact wrong time?
While any terrorist event is horrible, if I act with respect to my own real risk and the probability that I, personally, will be affected, then I can return to a more normal life. If I act as if each terrorist act will be directed specifically at me, then I will hide, and collectively we will all hide
Check out England where they actually have 'strict' gun laws.
Most of those murders that you scream about (like a girl) happened in cities with strict gun control. So once again you lie badly.
