Statistically more people are bludgeoned to death by hammers than guns and bullets

I'm not anti-gun, but if you read a bit more carefully the comparison was between hammers AND clubs AND fists, with that total being compared with the number of people killed with RIFLES. Not "guns" in general.

Here is a quote from the FBI article.

"In 2005, for example, 445 murders involved rifles while 608 were committed with clubs or hammers. 905 murders were committed with "personal weapons" like hands and feet. Knives were used in 1,920 murders that year and shotguns were involved in 522 murders. Handguns, however, accounted for 7,565 murders that year."

All the other years were even less favorable.

Once again, I'm not anti-gun. I own a few. Just trying to keep the info accurate.
