FBI: More People Killed with Knives, Hammers, Clubs and Even Feet than Rifles in 2018 - National Gun Network

Despite the current narrative that gun violence resulting in homicide is at historic epidemic proportions, data from the FBI tells a far different story. Two things come into focus when the hard data rather than mainstream induced hysteria is considered: Violent crimes are not at an all-time...

The title should say rifles not guns. More people are killed by people wielding knives and hammers than rifles.

To Baltimore Mayor: ‘Honest Gun Owners Aren’t Killing People, Either’ ~ VIDEO

Maryland has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, and in Baltimore it is virtually impossible for average citizens to get carry permits for personal and family protection.

It would be nice if the article gave links.

If I post an article like this on FB, the people who should read it - won't. Because it is on a gun site.

 

[Stomper]

I would argue against those stats because more people kill people than all weapons combined!

Cell phone usage (mainly texting) causes a lot more injury and death of young drivers and though there is a ban on texting and driving, there is no move to ban cell phones from young drivers. If there was talk of banning cell phones in young drivers, I wonder how many cell phones would be lost in boating accidents?

That's the huge problem we have. The news eating public has been so conditioned to see fire arms as bad and dangerous things that they're not open to any other opinion. Even IF you could get people to read the articles they'd just continue to believe that we'd ALL be better off without these dangerous things.

There is also a ban in Oregon against talking on a cellphone while driving, regardless of age... does it stop anybody?

There was a law that drivers under 18yrs of age had to be accompanied by an adult... is that one still in place?

How bout if we ban cellphones from family of all ages while attending any kind of gathering... I'm not looking forward to being ignored for hours this Thanxgiving!!!!!!

Pictures bbbass get up from the comfy chair, walk over and say, "May I see that phone". bbbass takes phone, goes to door, opens door, throws phone on lawn. Or, into street where heavy holiday traffic smashes phone to bits.

Ahhh, feeling better now?

What I find sad is that I can read this stuff here (which is fine in its self) but, never see this stuff in the newspaper or news channels! America has become dumb!!

There's something like that but it's when a kid first gets his/her permit. And I doubt it's 18. More like when you get your permit at 16. Not sure how long it's for though.

Well, I don't take the local rag, or any other, and I don't have cable tv, and I refuse to watch Broadcast News. However, I find plenty of those types of articles at FoxNews.com, even tho I have to admit that that particular news outlet is turning back to purple.

These are great talking points when you have the opportunity to discuss guns with less than pro-firearm people that are more open to reason and discussion.

• A law doesn't stop those who choose to break it knowingly.
• Cell phone laws are a prime example, and this is ignored by even "good & normal" folks, never mind criminals.

I'm pretty sure those folks are out there somewhere, riding their purple ponies, unicorns, and one-eyed dragons in a forest of money trees...

Sadly, there is no such thing anymore. There is pro and anti, and the latter refuses to listen to facts OR reason. Emotions and media dictate their decisions. Discussion? Forget it.
