Breitbart ^ | September 6, 2016 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 10/03/2016 4:52:41 PM PDT by Blood of Tyrants

The FBI’s 2015 Uniform Crime Report (UCR) shows nearly three times more people were stabbed or hacked to death than were killed with rifles and shotguns combined.

Breitbart News previously reported this UCR shows nearly twice as many people were beaten to death with “hands, fists, feet, etc.” in 2015 than were killed with rifles of any kind.

According to the FBI, the number of people killed with rifles and shotguns in 2015 totals approximately 548. Nearly three times that many, approximately 1,573, were stabbed or hacked to death.

The issue isn't about how many people are killed with "assault weapons", it's about disarming the people so they won't be able to effectively resist a totalitarian government.

More witnesses have been murdered on the way
to testifying to a Judge in the last 6 months
than have been arrested by the FBI for
1) helping al Qaeda using classified files
and 2) treason using computers destroyed by Comey.

They way I understand it, is they want to ban assault weapons because they are the easiest ones used to convince people. That would be the first ban. The NFA in 1934 didn’t ban weapons, it regulated them. Once assault weapons are banned, and the ban holds up, then it’s just a matter of expanding the list to add more guns until eventually they are all banned.

Here, the court docket here this week shows a rash of choking cases but not one gun related case.

Is the FBI trying to change the subject away from their part in the criminal conspiracy to destroy evidence?

Has the FBI no shame?

And sharp object murders in turn are far exceeded by blunt object murders.

Those in turn are far exceeded by murders committed with bare hands.

Hand guns are used in the vast majority of homicides involving guns.

It’s Impossible to dazzle Liberals with the truth. They require BS for motivation and the more BS, the more motivated they become.

Guns bad! Knifes are for eating with and hands??? They’re for holding, not strangling and punching.

Did the fbi give all the perps immunity and allow them to destroy evidence? To be “equal”, I hope so.

Yep. I think it is about closing even more tightly into agenda 21 but too many of us are armed.

Well, in fairness, it is because they are the most "lethal" and effective in a combat scenario, such as one might encounter in a civil unrest or armed resistance situation.

There's a reason special ops forces use M4 carbine or other equivalent "assault rifles" instead of Winchester 70s, lever action marlins, or even M1 garands.
