FBI: Over 5 Times More Killed with Knives than Rifles
FBI crime stats for 2018 show over five times as many people were killed with knives and/or other cutting instruments than were killed with rifles.
The FBI data shows a total 1,515 deaths by knives and/or other cutting instruments vs. 297 deaths by rifle in 2018.
This means the gap between murders with knives vs. murders with rifles has grown since 2017, for which FBI stats showed nearly four times as many stabbed to death as killed with rifles.
The number of murders with a rifle hovered around 400 for the year 2017, then dropped to 297 in 2018.
Ironically, over 100 more people were killed with hammers and clubs than were killed with rifles in 2018.
It must be noted that the category of rifle includes all kinds of rifles, not just bolt action or semiautomatic, not just pump or lever action. So the gap between knife homicides and rifle homicides or hammer/club homicides and rifle homicides would be even larger if contrasted only with semiautomatic rifles, versus rifles of all kinds.

Except those facts will never appear prominently in the MSM and therefore the ignorant morons who support Beto and his kind will never see them.

It could be one punch. That 54 year old in MD died from the 'KO game'.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

If you really want to deal with violent crime in America, then the only way to go about it is as a race issue. But since no one really wants to be honest about it, its easier to blame guns, bad education, or the real whipping boy, socio-economics, than to take on the real problem.

A rifle is not a weapon of choice in most murder situations, duh. If Beto were told this, he would ignore it or think it was fake news.
I pointed this out to several anti-gun liberals. Their response?

Unfortunately, that's the problem with people; especially politicians. They think they have to do more, pass more laws, restrict more of our rights or there's something wrong.

It's pandering, not problem solving. Pure pandering.
It's akin to creating a Dept of Education so we can improve our education, or Dept of Energy to improve that. Both have been disasters, and both are still here, along with ethanol in gasoline.
It's the way the system works, pandering. Very very very few pieces of legislation actually solve some problem.

Yep.
We as a Nation have intentionally handcuffed ourselves by being science deniers who willingly pretend that race is only skin deep.

How would our criminal justice system differ if "we" recognized that race is more than skin deep?
Black folks would get stiffer sentences than white folks for the same crime?
