For the gun deaths, should we randomly exclude a subset of gun deaths then? Say like any gun deaths related to hunting or accidental?

I'll clarify my sources when I'm home, but the guns deaths number didn't not include suicide or any accidental deaths (including hunting).
The comparison remains. Terrorism claims "tens" of American lives each year on average, while gun homicide of Americans claims thousands. The difference of severity between each issue is extreme.
Right-wing Americans don't care about Americans being murdered. They just don't like it when a Muslim does it.
