The FBI’s most recent data shows that 600 people were killed in 2019 with what the FBI refers to as “personal weapons,” - meaning hands, fists or feet.
Knives or other “cutting tools” accounted for another 1,476 homicides — about three times the number killed by rifles.
The fact that knives kill three times as many more Americans than rifles should end this debate about the so-called carnage that’s doled out by the AR-15.
ENTER PRIME MINISTER CARE BEAR:Public Safety Minister Bill Blair claimed the cost for the “buy back” of roughly 250,000 firearms would be between $400 million and $600 million - $375 million for the guns and presumably the rest for overhead.
It would be surprising if everything went as planned.
The infamous "Long Gun Registry" was predicted to cost no more than $2 million and ended up costing $2.7 billion.
