Although the FBI did not make the comparison themselves, when reading the data we can see the number of murders carried out with knives or cutting devices was five times higher than the number of murders carried out with rifles.
This is a number 5 times higher than those killed by rifles, which sits at just 297.
What's more, twice as many people were beaten to death with hands, fists, and feet than were killed by rifles.
Nearly 150 more people were bludgeoned to death with hammers and other blunt objects than killed with rifles.
Another important fact is that the FBI data does not differentiate as to what kind of rifle was used in the murder-meaning that it is not likely that all 297 rifle deaths were caused by AR type rifles.
The FBI data includes all rifles - including bolt action, pump or lever action rifles - not just AR-15s. If we were to compare stabbings to just AR-15 rifle deaths, that disparity would more likely than not be even greater.
Knowing these facts about rifles makes the gun grabbers calls for taking your AR-15s that much more hollow.
