According to the FBI stats...firearms are used in most murders.

And just like it has always been...it's HANDGUNS (pistols) that are the huge majority.

Go down to table 2.9 to see those stats.

Always seems odd that the shouting is all about "assault rifles" when it's pistols that are the real killer.
But I guess the govt. isn't afraid of a bunch of citizens wielding handguns as it would be against a horde of them coming to the WhiteHouse with heavy weapons. lol

If ANY "gun control" were needed in the U.S.A. it's control over cheap and easily concealed handguns.

Remember the old Lynyrd Skynyrd song from the 1970's "Saturday Night Special"?

It's about the .38 handgun. "It ain't good for nothing, but put a man six feet in a hole"

But I guess that the anti-gun movement will just keep screaming about "assault rifles" no matter what the facts are.
