    For the three gunbanners

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...s-rifles-kind/

    The most recent FBI crime stats show that more people were killed in 2017 with hammers and clubs than were killed with rifles of any kind.

    But if only ONE life were saved wouldn't it be worth banning all tools of any kind? ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!

      Hammers are a preferred tool in the hood,

      22oz framing hammer the preferred type

        But yet there is NO pressure at all for WalMart to stop selling hammers, just guns.

          Trump, Hillary... who's the third? On a serious note, pistols are where the damage is done, and the whole AR pistol thing is an area to keep an eye on.

              And its very likely I'll stand with you guys a little closer the next time 500 + are injured by some guy tossing hammers off the roof top of a Vegas hotel .

              as has been mentioned.... stats don't include "all" fire arms.... or how many are killed AND injured in a mass killing ... as in over 5 at a time... do they ?

              Breitbert.... the guys who spread the story of a Dem pedophile ring operating out of a pizza joint..... and we still can't bring ourselves to condemn them for ....FAKE NEWS

                stats in general tend to be skewed by how and who is generating them,

                which frustrates both sides of the argument,

                can't really compare mass shooting to death by hammer,


                as I said, it is a preferred tool, at least in an area I used to work,

                some could not, either by law or not afford, a firearm,

                hammers are relatively cheap,


                get stopped with a hammer, no big deal,


                learned this when I spent 4 yrs selling groceries in a hoody area

                      You got it! Even if by focusing on the wrong policy we FAILED to save any lives -- or even resulted in MORE lives being lost, the knee-jerk reaction is Politically Correct.

                        This year makes the 25th Anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide. Most of the victims were killed with machetes.
