You claimed the NRA was a bigger threat to the U.S than ISIS, which is widely considered the actual biggest threat considering their goal is to have western civilization brutally wiped off the face of the planet.
this is all fear mongering. the greatest threat to the US is sugar, fat, guns, botulism, etc. all greater risks to the loss of human life.
if this was voyaging's general statement, that gun violence among other things (such as bad foods), pose a much larger number of deaths, than he was correct and that statement shouldn't be compared to his most famous "i'm so sick" quote. People just look past the actual body count because "ISIS goal is to wipe us out", whereas my goal to tongue punch Kate Upton is never taken too seriously.
I mean, we have about 5,000 people killed per year just by food poisoning, let alone those killed by cardiac arrest from a poor diet or lung/mouth cancer from tobacco products. the only reason to take ISIS's pledge to wipe out the US seriously is a heavy dose of illogical fear, they're nothing but a fly to a horse.

it's not hard for an honest person looking to pragmatically identify risks to life rather than risks to pride or a sense of safety.
