Hammers, Clubs, and Fists: Making Our Streets and Schools Safe
Melancton Smith • Friday, January 4, 2013
Over at Breitbart, there is a very good article about the number of deaths caused each year by rifles vs. hammers and clubs. Here is a snippet:
For example, in 2011, there was 323 murders committed with a rifle but 496 murders committed with hammers and clubs. . . .
Another interesting fact: According to the FBI, nearly twice as many people are killed by hands and fists each year than are killed by murderers who use rifles.
Despite the availability of high-powered rifles, good old fashioned sticks and fists do more damage than the rifles many in Congress are working to ban. Cain had no problem killing his righteous brother without an assault rifle, and this holds true for the line of Cain today.
