>> According to the FBI homicide stats for US, 297 people were murdered by a rifle in 2018 in the US.

Holy misleading data excerpts batman...

there were 10k homicides by gun, but you choose 1 type of gun and not the most common.

2014 - 2018 knives 1545 -> 1515 Blunt objects 431->443 Hands, feet 668->672 Guns 7803->10265

I stated "rifle" not all guns. Because saying we need to take away all guns is pie in the sky thinking. Dems run on "taking away AR-15" but the stats show that isn't going to achieve anything.

In 2008, there were 800k-3 million defensive uses of guns.
