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.
