I know there was a link here somewhere saying FBI stats showed 2 murders by long gun (I'm Mass) in the last X years. At the rally I saw signs saying 5 and 7. Can someone point me to an actual, verified stat I can include in my letter.
 
It'd be even more interesting to know how many of those rifles used were what they call "assault rifles".
 
Matt80, you're the berries!

Quick reference for everyone else, FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) for the years 2007-2014 for the State of Mass

Total Murders Rifles Knives, etc. Hands/feet

1,294 7 292 59

0.54% 22.5% 4.56%


I didn't include every category, only the ones I thought were most relevant. The complete tables are in the links above provided by Matt80.
 
Ah hell! The table I tried to make didn't take. Second attempt.

Total murders 1,294

By Rifle 7 that's just 0.54%

By Knives 292 for 22.5%

Hands/feet 59 for 4.56%

Bonus fact: last murder accredited to a rifle in Mass was 2013
 
Ah hell!!!!! I am NOT giving up a hand or foot!!!! [smile]
