Angela Merkel says Germany can no longer rely on Donald Trump's America: 'We Europeans must take our destiny into our own hands'

You're losing more people to mass shootings (604 deaths in 2016, 469 in 2015) than us to terrorist acts on a yearly basis (90 in France in 2016 -counting the Nice attack- & 149 in 2015 -counting Charlie Hebdo and the Paris/Bataclan attacks-).

We could say that it's not too different if we look at a per capita ratio but you're getting these numbers year after year while we "need" a massive attack to reach 100+ each time.

Then you have to take into account two things :

  • Despite welcoming tons of migrants (far more than us here in France), Germany only had 14-terrorism related deaths in the past 6 years.

  • A huge majority of our terrorists are locals (2nd or 3rd generation) since we'd had so much troubles integrating people from our former colonies.

Our governments are trying pretty hard to cull terrorist activities in fact, what is your government doing to cull those mass shootings that are a much bigger problem than terrorism in Germany ?
