According to FBI crime stats, Hammers and Clubs kill more than rifles each year.
Breitbart:
Breitbart News reported the most recent numbers–those for 2017–on September 26, 2018. Those figures showed that 467 people were killed with “blunt objects (hammers, clubs, etc.),†while 403 were killed with rifles.
And it must be noted that the category of “rifles†used by the FBI includes bolt action, pump action, single shot, and semi-automatic, as well as those the left describes as “assault weapons.†This means only a percentage of the 403 deaths attributed to “rifles†would have been carried out with an “assault weapon.†So the gap between the number of persons beaten to death with hammers and clubs verses those killed with “assault weapons†would be even greater than the gap between those who died in a hammer/club attack versus those who died being shot with “rifles†of any kind.
Breitbart News also reported that the 2017 crime figures showed 1,591 people were killed with “knives or cutting instruments†while 403 were killed with “rifles.†This means nearly four times as many people were stabbed to death as were killed with any kind of rifle. (The gap between the number stabbed to death and the number of persons explicitly killed with an “assault weapon†would be even greater.)
This comes after the left and even some establishment Republicans have called for a ban on semi-automatic rifles.
