FBI: More People Killed with Hammers Each Year Than Rifles

Read more: http://nation.foxnews.com/gun-rights/20 ... YAccording" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to the FBI annual crime statistics, the number of murders committed annually with hammers and clubs far outnumbers the number of murders committed with a rifle.
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.

You know it's the hammers with the extra length claws or the over sized handles that I have a problem with. Unless you're planning on killing someone, why do you need a hammer that rugged?

Ha ha. My uncles always taught me to carry a straight claw framer (20.oz) by the end of the handle and to walk up to the ridge to cross to the other side. The idea was that in case you slipped you could bury the claw in the sheathing while sliding down instead of falling straight to your death.

ABTW after swinging one of those their whole life, those guys could hurt you just as bad with only their hands.

Yeah but you could use a rope and we could do away with all those rugged hammers being used to kill everyone. You know a hammer designed to break if you hit something to hard with it, that way if you hit someone on the head with it, it simply breaks. I saw some real dangerous ones in Home Depot and they didn't even have locks on them, you can even buy them without a background check. Hell, people need to buy guns to defend themselves against all those hamer murders running around out there.

The democrats don't care one rats ass about the deaths caused by guns, it's a smoke screen for their real concern. In every society that has the power to overthrow government, the government eventually becomes concerned for their power because they know the people are seeing the real corruption and abuses, and how the government doesn't really care about the working class or the little guy, they (government) just care about money and power - they know that an large armed society can overthrow a government, like our 2nd was designed for, and they will do/say anything to disarm the public so that they can remain fascists in power.

They are already talking about Confiscation without Grandfathering current owners, and they are also talking about Swords/Knives after the gun (not just rifle) bans/confiscations.
