If I lack an understanding of the timeline, you COULD explain in a
civil manner.
"Wanton" is certainly not an appropriate word. Replace it with "some".
Then reflect on the comparison between the incident you think is so
terrible in Central London, and the incident that has just taken place
in Arizona, and consider what you might do about developing a sense of
perspective.
In your country, even in 2001, more than twice as many people died
through the use of lawfully-held handguns than perished in the Twin
Towers, and in the decade since then, there have been very few deaths
caused by "islamists", whilst something of the order of 100,000 people
have died through gun use. Si bellum requiris, circumspice.
Timelines are the least of your problems if you are genuinely asking for
people to point out your lack of understanding.
