    Knives, Blunt Objects, and Fists (Oh my!)

    According to FBI data, Americans used rifles to commit 285 homicides in 2013.

    In that same year, Americans used knives, blunt objects, and fists to commit 2605 homicides.

    So while the mass shootings involving rifles are certainly more spectacular, they constitute a tiny percentage of homicides in America.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    That's just not fair, you shouldn't use facts against liberal fictions.

    We also know for a fact that violent crime rates are down at a time gun ownership is high, but that's not fair either.

    When was the last time anybody injured or killed 600 people with a knife, blunt object or fists?
    News: Rich people paying rich people to tell middle class people to blame poor people.

    They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

    OK, now how many in that year were knives, blunt objects, and fists used to kill? How many were killed by other things like automobiles.
