FBI: Over 3.5x More Killed with Knives than Rifles of Any Kind

FBI data released Monday in the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) show over three and a half times as many people were stabbed to death in 2020 than were killed with all kinds of rifles combined.

The UCR shows that 454 people were shot and killed with rifles in 2020 while 1,732 were stabbed or hacked to death with “knives or cutting instruments.”

Breitbart News reported that the previous UCR release showed over four times as many people were stabbed to death in 2019 than were killed with rifles of all kinds.

The exact figures for 2019 were 375 killed with rifles while 1,525 were stabbed to death with “knives or cutting instruments.”

On September 30, 2019, Breitbart News reported that the FBI’s UCR for 2018 showed a similar finding, with over five times as many people stabbed to death with “knives or cutting instruments” as were killed with rifles of any kind.

The statistics didn't break down regular knife and assault knife murders. 🙄

Of course facts never matter to the gun-grabbers, just lies and sensationalism.

Joe Biden will ban all knives.

Are these knives fully semiautomatics? The AR47 model of knife is particularly deadly!

Well that rips it. Time to start banning assault knives from the tiny little pen knife to the Bowie. That ought to make them happy. Nah..... nothing makes a commie happy.

Don't worry; they'll get around to banning knives, too.

Is the irony lost on the Essex (UK) Police that they're asking to turn in knives when the city logo has three scimitars?

Of course compared to pistols it would be a lot different story, but the gun grabbers want more than pistols. They want pistols, rifles, and shotguns as well.

Since the report is from Biden’s FIB, I’m surprised they didn’t just lie and report that there were more murders by ‘assault rifles’ than all other weapons combined including knives, to keep the lie going.

So anti-gun laws don’t stop murders, they just increase your chance of getting stabbed instead of shot.

375 killed out of 350,000,000. A statistic so small as to have no meaning whatsoever. Less people than killed by moose and deer.

The entire gun debate ceased forevermore when joe bidet left 6 thousand AR type assault, military weapons and much more, to 6th century idiots that can’t count to ten nor write their own names.

But, but, black guns are SO scary.

I find it ironic that the mini 14 is legal I believe in Commiefornia, even though it’s a thoroughly bad ass gun, because it has a wood stock and not a scary black polymer one.

Frigging morons.

Ruger mini 14s have exceedingly poor metallurgical quality. Every one I have ever seen come through a class, every single one, suffered cracked hilt faces and walking headspace. Not even one has survived a 2 day, 1,800 round course.

By the way, not to mention one locking lug was sheering off. The camming groove on the op rod was beating it absolutely to crap. We had to give that girl a loner AR to finish the course.
