The gun homicide rates you quote also include suicides and accidental death.
In fact, 61% (2010) of the deaths by firearm in the US were due to suicide. 4% were due to accident. Only 35% of all firearm fatalities were due to criminal activity.

http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investig...ism-definition

"Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:

1) Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
2) Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and
3) Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.
IF, 2) is read as 3 separate possible alternatives, where ( i ) is a single option, then it appears to meet the definition. If it doesn't- it should! When an Islamist/ South Sider/ anti Planned Parenthood/ aggrieved student- employee-etc. nutter, grabs an Assault Rifle w Handguns and goes on a rampage to a random place to shoot to kill, that is the definition of terrorism! Those individuals are at least, attempting to 'intimidate and/ coerce' other citizens.

The political angle is merely an add on for 'political terrorism'.

Which is exactly the Anti-American Obama is doing.
Obama is a terrorist. And the world's biggest enabler of terrorism.
No one has done more for the terrorists than Obama. Fact of life.
