hammers don’t kill. People swinging hammers kill.

How many more are killed by cars than rifles?

Your logic is retarded

For some reason I’m not too scared of the possibility of a mass hammer attack

Imagine the damage all those crazy hammer people could do if they had assault rifles.

Not really

How often are people killing people with rifles?

Besides the rare mass shooting with a rifle, they're rarely used in domestic or gang situations

Why? Handguns are the overwhelming majority but blunt objects are readily available and very deadly. A blow to the head by hammer, bat, metal pipe will easily fracture a skull or rupture delicate blood vessels. Doesn't take much strength either.

Amazing how the media brainwashes the general public, huh?

You're more likely to be killed by a hammer than in a mass shooting

True, we should prescribe policies based on TheIndulger's emotions and fears, regardless of whether they are predicated on logic or not.

Everytime a mass shooting happens, we get these type "facts".

Yeah, you folks usually hate the truth. That's why you put facts in quotes.

I believe it. There was a big push to stop this in the 90s
