Hi bentway; Re: "Actually, murder by rifle is about equal to death by knife." We can disagree about opinions but we should agree about facts. Here's the 2011 FBI's US statistics for instrument used to cause death by murder from the official US FBI website: Rifles: 323 Knives or cutting instruments: 1694 fbi.gov When you're just absolutely completely, not even close to being right about a disputed fact, you really need to take a very hard look at where you're getting your information. Maybe it's not as unbiased as you think it is. Maybe there are some other things you're wrong about. Maybe some of your conclusions are wrong. It's human nature to believe the people who tell you things that you think are true. This is called "confirmation bias". It is human nature and is a part of all peoples, right wing or left. You need to recognize it in yourself when it happens, God knows everyone is willing to recognize it when they see it on the other side. -- Carl P.S. Thanks to politifact for giving the link to the official US government numbers: politifact.com
