EDIT OK BEAR IN MIND PLEASE I BROUGHT THIS UP TO BE THOUGHT PROVOKING SOME ITEMS SHOULD REALLY BE GROUPED TOGETHER BUT IT IS NOT CURRENTLY WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE GUN GRABBERS ARE AFTER THEIR PRIMARILY AFTER ASSAULT WEAPONS AS THEY LIKE TO LOOK AT THEM AS. AND ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT PART OF THE DISCUSSION THE NUMBERS FOR DRUNK DRIVING AND DRUGS ARE WAY HIGHER AND TOPPING THE LIST IS THE MEDICAL FIELD. SO DON'T SHOT THE MESSENGER FOR IT.
Liberals Won’t Like Seeing What’s Killed More People Than Rifles Between 2009 and 2013
There’s this interesting thing that happens when politicians and anti-gunners get on stage and starting talking about the dangers of all of these “scary looking assault” rifles.
Somehow, very conveniently for them, all of the facts regarding the true danger of these weapons fly right out the window.
It actually turns out there are much cheaper, more affordable, means of killing people.
So, care to guess what’s more dangerous than rifles?
Blunt objects. Between 09 and 13 2,624 people were killed by blunt objects; 1,633 by rifles.
Look at the FBI report below.

Wow, who would haver known you could kill people without a gun? Or a knife for that matter.
Turns out hammers, fists, rocks car doors, stones, etc. are just as effective at killing people.
And while we would never argue that you could mow down 13 people in a few seconds with a 2×4 it doesn’t change the fact one of the only things that will ever help even the playing field when a person suffers a violent attack is a gun.
That’s indisputable.
Do you think liberals should be called out when they misrepresent the facts?

PO2 Jeffery Marcussen Sr
Sir that is the biggest problem politic's it's the politicians trying to take away our fundamental rights a little piece here and a little piece there eventually we will have no rights at all. we have already given up so many of our rights to preserve security over liberty. eventually we will have neither if we don't reverse the trend and soon. what was that saying those who give up freedom for security will soon have neither nor deserve them.

The problem isn't with the guns, it is with the culture.
"The Mayor of Baltimore is Stephanie-Rawlings Blake (D), Mayor of Chicago is Rahm Emanuel (D), Mayor of Milwaukee is Tom Barrett (D), Mayor of New Orleans is Mitch Landrieu (D), and Mayor of St. Louis is Francis G. Slay (D). And these mayors are not simply Democrats, but Democrats who succeeded Democrats before them, which in every case succeeded Democrats as well.
And what is happening in these cities now? Gun crime is soaring. And not in the suburbs where one is less apt to find Democrat voters, but in the ‘poor and predominantly African-American and Latino neighborhoods’—the very neighborhoods to whom Democrats appeal each election cycle with talk of change, promises of more benefits, and plans to crackdown on crime via gun control."
