More Americans die from lawn mowers and armed babies than from mobsters. HuffPost statistics

According to statistics, in 2015, terrorists died 7 times less than US residents than lawn mowers

This was  written by journalist Todd Miller in his blog for  Huffington Post .

Using statistical information from government sites, he calculated the likelihood of the death of an American from terrorists and from other, more casual things.

By 2015, shahid terrorists killed 9 US citizens. During the same period, 69 people died from lawn mowers, and 21 people from armed infants.

Statistics also indicate that the American has a better chance of dying through a lightning strike than from a terrorist attack. And from the hands of armed fellow citizens dies more than 11 thousand people a year.



According to Forbes, all terrorist attacks since 2001 (after the New York terrorist attack) were committed by American citizens. Their number includes, in particular, foreigners who have acquired US citizenship.

In August, US President Donald Trump presented a bill that cancels the green card draw and reduces the number of residence permits in the country.

Later Tramp said that the lottery allowed the "worst" representatives of different countries to move to the United States.
