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.

Seriously, if this report is factual, it’s exactly the sort of material that is most useful in fighting off the gun control crowd.
Gun owners should have simple facts like these at hand and present them at each and every town hall, by asking the question of their representatives, getting their answers, and then reciting the facts of the matter back to them.
But you cannot defend yourself against a tyrannical government with clubs and hammers.
Which is obviously the goal of the left.
Facts are a Biotch.
Ban hands and feet! If only we would remove these dangerous weapons from everybody, why, we would save more than half again as many people as are killed with all long guns.
We need common sense hand and feet safety legislation. That of course means we need to chop off everybodys hands and feet. Its for their own good. We know best.
Common sense also includes lobotomy, beheading. Maybe if we wait a bit we can see them covered under the ACA Obamacare.
Is that an assault hammer?
