FBI Stats: 2020 Saw Twice as Many People Killed with Knives than with Shotguns and Rifles Combined

This fact shoots a big hole in the anti-gun crowd's argument that the United States would be so much safer without AR-15s.

The latest crime statistics gathered by the FBI show that more than twice as many people were murdered with knives than rifles and shotguns combined.

This fact of course shoots a big hole (no pun intended) in the anti-gun crowd’s argument that the United States would be so much safer if AR-15s and other so-called “assault weapons” were banned.

The FBI’s Uniform Crime Report released Monday shows that 454 people were killed with rifles of all types and another 203 were killed by shotguns.

Together they totaled 657 murders.

Meanwhile, 1,732 were killed by knives or cutting instruments.

Feelz > Facts.

Duh.

454 killed using rifles of all kinds, a fraction of which involved AR-15s. Out of a population of like 350,000,000. It pains rational thought to consider this a meaningful problem to waste so much resources on. It’s all about getting votes by capitalizing on emotion. What a dumb society we live in.

Since they discovered they can pull them out of their ass.

Indeed....they needed to pull them out first so they could then extract their heads.....
