Are you saying Will Smith lied to me?

Next you'll be telling me that Kenneth Branagh never had a giant steam-powered metal spider!

The mass shootings are a problem though, and considering the impact size compared with terrorism, it does seem a bit off to do so much against terrorists, but so little against mass shootings. I mean, I know it's an easier target, but when you compare the amount of Americans killed by either cause...
