Knives
The most recent available statistics from the FBI indicate that when it comes to murder, rifles are far from the most common weapon.
In 2017, rifles accounted for 403 murders in the United States. By contrast, “knives or cutting instruments” accounted for 1,591.

1 thing Dems forget about guns: They are the ultimate force equalizer (women, elderly, handicapped).
Without guns, burglaries when people are home would skyrocket (right now, most are when people are not home), and the most helpless of our citizens would be at the mercy of a thug with a baseball bat. But, that is not the case if, say, your daughter has a gun.
Think about women, the handicapped and the elderly, and don't try to make them more vulnerable.

Indeed. Arm-up for the Zombie Apocalypse.
Zombies most fear the AR 15.

Yes. Those folks need combat assault rifles to defend themselves.
Assuming they can pass a background check.
