A new survey shows that Americans are more worried about being a victim of gun violence than of terrorism. In the McClatchy/Marist poll, 63 percent of the Americans surveyed said they were afraid that they or someone they knew would die from gun violence. In comparison, 29 percent said they were more afraid of terrorist attacks. Republicans and Democrats tended to be divided over what they considered the greater threat. Seventy-seven percent of Democrats thought that gun violence was a greater concern than terrorism, while Republicans believed that terrorism was a bigger threat by 55 percent to 45 percent.
What are you more concerned with? My personal thoughts are that I am concerned about both but I am more concerned about Terrorist because those bastards just don't give a shit about anyone but themselves and their ideological bullshit way of thinking.

I don't fear guns at all. I fear terrorists only marginally inasmuch as none have been seen in these parts (thanks largely to Bush's "flypaper" strategy). I fear bloated government. But, most of all, I fear an American populace whose mind and political will have wandered and allowed my gun rights to be challenged, which will allow terrorists and tyrants to victimize me.

"Flypaper strategy", I knew it, but I haven't heard that term. I like it. Maybe we should put up some more flypaper in a couple places and kill off a few thousand more idiots.

MAJ Matthew Arnold - What rock have been hiding under? The Left was vilifying President Bush and his "flypaper strategy" throughout most of his term in office

I think it depends a lot on where you live. In the inner-city it would be rational to fear gun violence more, while in rural areas like where I live the threat of gun violence is quite remote.
In the big picture view, away from crime hot spots, terrorism is clearly the greater threat.
