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.

All guns are scary when you are put in the position of staring down the hole at the end. Upstream of that you could care less what that weapon has as far as bells and whistles.
This is important data to keep in the pocket.
Thanks for the ping.
If the FBI says the sun comes up in the east I wouldn’t trust their sorry lying asses.
Ban knives!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need to control Bananas as they are too easy to acquire.
What about pointed sticks?
Rifles only compared.
Yeah right. Tell that to these guys.

Because they want to marginalize “assault rifle” owners. The number of people killed and injured with “assault rifles” is just a typical weekend in Chicago where pistols are the weapon of choice.

“Only Cowards Carry Knives” Notice they admit there is indeed something you might need to defend yourself from but you are a coward if you do. If there was nothing to worry about then what are they saying you are afraid of as a coward?
Funny result of the campaign too. lol

This will just give the control freaks the initiative to take knives too. See the UK.
“Biden Administration Asks the U.S. Supreme Court to Judicially Nullify the Right to Bear Arms”
The Supreme Court has no power to nullify a God-given right.
Biden should be removed from office and tried for crimes against humanity, just for suggesting it.
I had not heard that. Thanks.
