What we are hearing from bloviating gun control advocates in America is nothing short of emotionally driven irrationality.

According to statistics assembled from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Center for Disease Control and the Federal Government, firearms related homicides are minuscule in comparison to other the other “big killers” in the United States.

If we look at homicide statistics in the United States it’s clear that more murders are committed with knives, bats, hammers and poisons than with firearms. As Kurt Nimmo recently noted, “ the number of murders committed annually with hammers and clubs far outpaces the number of murders committed with a rifle.”

The facts, not the drivel being spewed by the anti-gun propaganda machine, leave us wondering why some State and Federal lawmakers are so adamant about restricting the sale and ownership of handguns and rifles, especially since the majority of gun owners – close to 99% – have never committed a violent crime in their lives, let alone used a gun to do so.

Here is the chart they never want you to see:

Yes, unfortunately no amount of statistics will change their mind. They just want to take your rights and give it to the state. From the individual to the collective.

And that goes for all rights, not just gun rights.

That chart is actually flawed/misleading in one important area. I wish people would stop spreading it around.

This is where they're getting their numbers for "non-firearm homicides" http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm

"All Homicides" includes firearm homicides as well.
