The data for 2015 is out and what with all the clamor about assault-rifle ownership, the numbers show a completely different story.
From the 2015 Federal Bureau of Investigation's Crime in the United States - Table 20: Murder:
-
- Total number of murders in 2015: 13,455
- Murders committed by Rifle or Shotgun: 521
- Murders committed by Knives or other weapons: 3,215
- Murders committed by hands, fists, feet, etc: 624
Can not argue with actual numbers. Does not fit the narrative but can not argue with the numbers...
Oh, yes, handguns are responsible for 6,477 Murders.
