Nearly five times as many murders are committed with knives than so-called “assault rifles,” according to the FBI.
The new crime statistics released by the agency reveal that out of 11,961 murders performed within the U.S. in 2014, 660 were committed unarmed, 1,567 were committed with knives and only 248 murders were known to have been committed using rifles of any type, including single-shot long arms and “assault rifles” routinely demonized by gun control groups.

I recommend looking at the actual statistics. The title of this article is completely wrong. Guns are used in most homicides – but they are typically handguns, not rifles.

YES Doctors Knives
Very true
IT’S NOT ABOUT GUNS… IT’S ABOUT CONTROL…
We don’t outlaw knives because people stab each other. we don’t outlaw antifreeze because it’s sweet and easy to use as poison. we don’t outlaw fertilizer even though that’s what was used by the oklahoma city bomber. we don’t outlaw planes because some whack jobs thought it was their mission to fly into buildings and kill people. What anti-gun activists are doing is killing the messenger (guns) and not dealing with the lack of care and facilities for mentally disturbed people.

Yes, but the government does not fear knives, baseball bats, or any other hand held weapon.
The government fears GUNS in the hand of freedom loving, law abiding American citizens unwilling to accept their tyranny.
EXACTLY
MUSLIMS SLIT THROATS better band knives too!
