“FBI: More people killed with hammers & clubs each year than rifles,” and supplied a link to a Jan. ... the FBI’s statistics from 2011, the most recent year available, for murders with knives (1,694), personal weapons (728, typed on Facebook as 726), blunt objects (496) and rifles (323).


The key word is “rifles” most people killed with guns in the U.S. are killed with handguns.

The rebuttal I get most often from your statement is, “But guns, (usually the AR-15), sole purpose is for killing.”

And most of the handgun deaths are suicides, which would definitely not be avoided by banning rifles. But that's "logic". And liberals have absolutely no concept of it.
