Anti gun idiots, read it and weep.

Rifles and shotguns: 699
Hands, feet, etc: 726

FBI — Expanded Homicide Data Table 11

Oh, and by the way;

Rifles: 343
Hammers and clubs: 496
Knives and cutting instruments: 1694

So before we ban rifles, let's ban knives, hammers and clubs.

I also have no doubt that more murders are committed with icepicks than with coffee spoons.

Oh...and handguns? 6,220. More than anything else.

Are you suggesting that we register icepicks to reduce crime?

Total handguns: 6220. Looks like we should ban them first. More significantly your link shows that over three fourths of all murders are committed by firearms. Fail!

To bad they are not attempting to ban pistols....or restrict them.....it's the evil "assault rifle."

Of course, this throws out the medias bias, and a lot of people opinions here on CD right out the door.....and it is evident, you don't like it....
