EDIT OK BEAR IN MIND PLEASE I BROUGHT THIS UP TO BE THOUGHT PROVOKING SOME ITEMS SHOULD REALLY BE GROUPED TOGETHER BUT IT IS NOT CURRENTLY WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE GUN GRABBERS ARE AFTER THEIR PRIMARILY AFTER ASSAULT WEAPONS AS THEY LIKE TO LOOK AT THEM AS. AND ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT PART OF THE DISCUSSION THE NUMBERS FOR DRUNK DRIVING AND DRUGS ARE WAY HIGHER AND TOPPING THE LIST IS THE MEDICAL FIELD. SO DON'T SHOT THE MESSENGER FOR IT.
Liberals Won’t Like Seeing What’s Killed More People Than Rifles Between 2009 and 2013
There’s this interesting thing that happens when politicians and anti-gunners get on stage and starting talking about the dangers of all of these “scary looking assault” rifles.
Somehow, very conveniently for them, all of the facts regarding the true danger of these weapons fly right out the window.
It actually turns out there are much cheaper, more affordable, means of killing people.
So, care to guess what’s more dangerous than rifles?
Blunt objects. Between 09 and 13 2,624 people were killed by blunt objects; 1,633 by rifles.
Look at the FBI report below.

Wow, who would haver known you could kill people without a gun? Or a knife for that matter.
Turns out hammers, fists, rocks car doors, stones, etc. are just as effective at killing people.
And while we would never argue that you could mow down 13 people in a few seconds with a 2×4 it doesn’t change the fact one of the only things that will ever help even the playing field when a person suffers a violent attack is a gun.
That’s indisputable.
Do you think liberals should be called out when they misrepresent the facts?

Little confused, looking at your chart it shows 2009 blunt objects 623, hand guns 6,501.

PO2 Jeffery Marcussen Sr - but.. do we know how the FBI is defining rifle, does it include semi automatic or only bolt action? and the firearm issue isnt just rifles, its all firearms and hand guns far and away kill more people then any like three other categories combined, thats probably a small exaggeration but its a horrific number.

LCpl Mark Lefler - true enough it does not designate bolt actions and semi auto's but all in all people are killed with far more other weapons then rifles or as the ones their really after is so called assault type rifles. a true assault rifle to me any way is one that can be switched from single shot to fully automatic which as we all know is restricted currently to swat teams and the military.

PO2 Jeffery Marcussen Sr - but i think its more important to focus on firearms as a whole and not just one category that we do not even know how its specifically defined.

PO2 Jeffery Marcussen Sr
LCpl Mark Lefler - those numbers are also in the chart but not group together true but what is it the gun grabbers are mostly after at this time? rifles hand guns or both? so far as i have seen the majority of them have been after any rifle that has an assault weapon look or accessory. so at this point in time i am mostly pointing at their attempts at getting them first then they will go after hand guns and shotguns. even you have to see the direction things are going with this.
