Didnt we lose a bunch of Stingers to our enemies back in the 80's?
How is this news?
Uh, I'd just like to point out it depends on which numbers you use. According to the FBI there were 8,855 firearm homicides in 2012. I'm not sure of the reason for the discrepancy.

I'm much more concerned about the TSA than I am about terrorists.
Unlike the TSA at Ft Lauderdale Airport, no terrorist ever touched my junk.
Unlike the TSA in Maui, no terrorist ever confiscated my sun tan lotion.
Odds of dying in a terrorist attack, 1 in 20 million. I can deal with that...
Just don't care to deal with the TSA and their Security Theater.

Unfortunately that entire stat sheet is a pile of horsesh1t. A 1 in 340 chance of dying by "Assault by firearm"?
Given that there are ~11,000 firearms homicides per year, and ~320,000,000 people in the US, it's many many many orders of magnitude lower than 1 in 340.
