I apologize for the necropost (although I note that Heinrich’s reply is itself a necropost), but this is grossly inaccurate. Such means are used to commit homicide more than rifles or shotguns (or the two combined), and we see that cherry-picked data set presented in various places. However, their lethality is dwarfed by that of handguns. According to FBI data, from which the cherry-picked data set is pulled, guns of whatever type are the means in 68% of all homicides in the US.

Sorry for necroposting, but it had to be said.

I’s ok to kill people if your government tells you to do it. It’s not ok to have to live with it in your mind. It’s not ok to kill people if you need to protect yourself or your family and friends.
Why doesn’t the government just put people who want to die with people who want to kill and we will all be happier?

i think human on human violence is as inherent in us as the urge to hunt…….to be chief, to dominate your rival tribe, to be the best fighter possible is all part of the human mind……violent human tendencies do not just stem from the lust of the hunt

Actually baseball bats, knives, and bare hands kill more.

because most of those violent people uses guns to kill.

what if some of those people uses guns in wrong ways, do you think that is fair for those who are killed but innocent. i think, for me guns should be face out in the word.
