I have the FBI statistics from 2011 sitting in front of me right now. Under these 2 categories, rifles and firearms (type unknown) there were 1992 murders committed. Rifles 315, firearms (type unknown) 1677. Now take into account that firearms (type unknown) doesn't neccesarrily mean that the murders were committed with a rifle, so the over all number committed with a rifle would most likely be lower. In that same period, 1668 people were killed with knives, 1645 people were killed with other weapons (non firearm), and 718 were killed with hands, fists, feet, etc. I didn't bother with shotguns because that was relatively a low number. So to summarize in 2011 there were twice as many people killed by non-firearm related weapons than were killed with rifles, shotguns, and firearms (type unknown) combined? Feel safer yet? Going strictly by the rifle column there were more people killed by being beaten with hands and fist or strangled than were killed with rifles. What does she is going to accomplish? People would **** if they actually did a little bit of searching and seen how many murders were done by non firearms. Guess 5 years down the road we'll be banning knives? Wonder how we're going to ban hands?

good choice, how much are they running for now?
Thanks! I PMd the guy who is running the group buy. But seems like it's already locked for order.
