Recent shootings in Atlanta, Georgia, and Boulder, Colorado, are driving a renewed push to ban “assault-style” rifles like the AR-15 — but according to FBI data, far more murders are committed with handguns, knives or even hands and feet.

The FBI’s most recent data from 2019 shows that while firearms account for the vast majority of homicides overall — 10,258 — the number of homicides committed using a rifle (364) is much smaller. (RELATED: FBI Stats Show Knives Kill Far More People Than Rifles In America – It’s Not Even Close)

Handguns were listed as the primary weapon in 6,368 cases, and shotguns accounted for another 200. There were 45 cases that named “other gun” as the weapon, and 3,281 cases in which the type of firearm was not specified. Assuming the unspecified cases follow the same ratio as the reported firearm types, the number of cases in which a rifle was used would increase by approximately 120 — bringing that total number to 484.

In addition, 600 people were killed in 2019 with what the FBI refers to as “personal weapons,” meaning hands, fists or feet. Knives or other “cutting tools” accounted for another 1,476 homicides — about three times the number killed by rifles.

So, when I first moved in to where I live, somebody had stuck a weird sort of Ford Mustang 1960s convertible knife in the ground by the front of the house. Long story. Gonna cut to the chase:

So today was gonna cut this gallon juice container to make a feeder the squirrels can get peanuts out of but birds cannot (because it is connected on the tree, and goes “boing!” which squirrels dig but birds hate).

Trying to cut same plastic container, scissors, butcher knife, no dice.

Got the Mustang Death Blade (as Joe Kenda might call it, because “a knife with a blade that short & sharp has one purpose and one purpose only: to kill!”).

Zip! Zip! Zip! Zip! Squirrel feeder in 20 seconds.

Have no doubt this ickle snickersnee could do the job ASAP, swiftly & silently.

It shall be an heirloom to my people.

It is precious to me.

(((They))) are aware of this, but it's a great scare tactic for the normies to relinquish their right to self defense. That's what they want.

Implying that guns need to be proven safe by the government for us to continue owning them when that is really not the case at all.

There is no such burden of proof or any burden placed upon the citizenry by the second amendment whatsoever. It clearly and unconditionally states "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED".

Engaging in bad faith debates is a recipe for disaster. Debating enemies is how you lose and really the only way they can win.

The whole reason behind the second amendment was to give us a realistic (just because your commie, public school, nigger dick sucking, mama's boy upbringing says otherwise doesn't make it so) way to deal with enemies and now you're justifying the existence of the amendment to those same enemies.

Think about that how ridiculous that sounds.

Remember.. The vaccine will kill more people than "assault rifles" this year
