Crime statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) show that more people were killed with hammers and clubs than with rifles of every kind in 2017.

According to the Uniform Crime Report, 467 people were killed with “blunt objects (hammers, clubs, etc.),” while 403 were killed were rifles.

The FBI report also reveals that 692 people were killed with “personal weapons” like “hands, fists, feet, etc..” and that is higher than the number of people killed with rifles and shotguns combined.

Butt, butt, butt..............."MAGA" (Moms Against Guns America) ain't gonna buy that. We all know the NRA controls what the FBI reports. Right? Does NZ know about this? What are the hammer assault stats for NZ anyway?

Gun control is not about crime it is about controlling the people.

I probably have more than 10 hammers.

More than 20, even!

Better pack some in grease and bury them.

Don’t be ridiculous. Nobody wants to confiscate clubs and hammers. We just want to pass some sensible club-control laws.

and far more would have been killed with guns. if they were easier to get. But they were forced to use a hammer , a bat a fist which brings you closer to the victim than most gun victims. /s

Now you’re bringing facts into the argument. That will win you no friends in the liberal circle.

Jesus said, “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.”

Matthew 15:19

People started murdering other people LONG before “Assault-style semi-automatic weapons with large capacity magazines” became available.
