FBI: Nearly 5X More Murders Committed With Knives Than Assault
Rifles
Far more murders are committed
with knives than so-called “assault rifles,” according to the FBI.
The new crime statistics released by the agency reveal that out
of 11,961 murders performed within the U.S. in 2014, 660 were committed
unarmed, 1,567 were committed with knives and only 248 murders were known to
have been committed using rifles of any type, including single-shot long arms
and “assault rifles” routinely demonized by gun control groups.
Granted, the FBI did list 2,052
murders under “unknown firearm type,” but given the percentages of the known
firearm categories, it is unlikely that more than four percent of the “unknown
firearms” were in fact rifles, and less than that were semi-automatics.
In other words, despite the
calls to ban “military-style assault rifles” by anti-gun groups, conservatively
less – and likely much less – than four percent of murders were committed using
AR-15s, AK-47s and other semi-automatic long arms.
This
figure is a decrease from 2013.
In
comparison, AR-15s are used far less often in murders than shotguns, a fact
which contradicts Vice President Joe Biden who once implied
otherwise.
That
isn’t that surprising considering the recent study by the University of Chicago
Crime Lab which revealedthat AR-15s and AK-47s are unpopular amongst
criminals.
Overall
the number of murders involving guns has plunged from 8,855 in 2012 to 8,454 in 2013 and now 8,124 in
2014, following a significant decline in gun-related violent crimes since the mid-1990s.....
In 1911, Turkey
established gun control. Subsequently, from 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million
Armenians, deprived of the means to defend themselves, were rounded up and
killed.
In 1929, the Soviet
Union established gun control. Then, from 1929 to 1953, approximately 20 millon
dissidents were rounded up and killed.
In 1938 Germany
established gun control. From 1939 to 1945 over 13 million Jews, gypsies,
homosexuals, mentally ill, union leaders, Catholics and others, unable to fire
a shot in protest, were rounded up and killed.
In 1935, China
established gun control. Subsequently, between 1948 and 1952, over 20 million
dissidents were rounded up and killed.
In 1956, Cambodia
enshrined gun control. In just two years (1975-1977) over one million
“educated” people were rounded up and killed.
In 1964, Guatemala
locked in gun control. From 1964 to 1981, over 100,000 Mayan Indians were
rounded up and killed as a result of their inability to defend themselves.
In 1970, Uganda embraced
gun control. Over the next nine years over 300,000 Christians were rounded up
and killed.
