If you need a AR or AK, you're living proof you can't shoot, they're the training wheels for amateurs and children.
You're FOS.
You're getting BS for RW rags.
On October 1 2019 , the website AmericanMilitaryNews.com shared a
post headlined, “FBI stats show 5 times more murders by knives than rifles in 2018”:
That was shared thousands of times in less than 24 hours. An additional
item claimed the Federal Bureau of Investigation “indicated” knives were “five times as likely to be used [in murders]” compared to rifles:
Yeah, facebook is an excellent source.
In several of the excerpts above, a distinct impression was given that the FBI had contrasted rifle fatalities with knife fatalities. Some of the articles did link to Crime in the U.S. 2018 > Tables > Expanded Homicide Data
Table 8. Once again, the underlying data did not contrast knife-related homicide with rifle-related homicide.
It provided totals for the number of homicides (all), at 14,123. From there, it was broken down into all firearms (10,265), all knives (1,515), all blunt objects (443), “personal weapons” (hands, fists, feet, 672), and poison (5, among additional causes). Both “knives” and “firearms” were top-level categories, and rifles (297) was a sub-category along with handguns (6,603), shotguns (235), and other guns (167).
