The stat is hammers vs "assault" rifles, which is correct.Number one, handguns, 8,029. Number two, firearms—type not stated, 4,863. Number three, knives or cutting instruments [at 1,739]. Personal weapons, fists [and or] feet [at 662]. Then rifles at 455. Then blunt objects clubs, hammers at 393. The hammers, that stat is just wrong."
Most "gun" deaths are actually Gang murders and suicide. Remove firearms like we did in Japan and the suicide rate stays the same. Remove suicide and the Gang murders from the top Five Democrat controlled cities and the number of deaths by firearms plummets.
Gun control groups include everyone 19 and under (some use 21) when they try to scare you about the number of "kids" killed by a firearm. Most are 14-19 year old gang member out shooting eachother at night because there is no Father in the home.
