Ban Hammers, Clubs, Fists and Feet
- According to the FBI annual crime statistics, the number of murders committed annually with hammers and clubs far outnumbers the number of murders committed with a rifle.
This is an interesting fact, particularly amid the Democrats' feverish push to ban many different rifles, ostensibly to keep us safe of course.
However, it appears the zeal of Sens. like Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) is misdirected. For in looking at the FBI numbers from 2005 to 2011, the number of murders by hammers and clubs consistently exceeds the number of murders committed with a rifle.
Think about it: In 2005, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 445, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 605. In 2006, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 438, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 618.
And so the list goes, with the actual numbers changing somewhat from year to year, yet the fact that more people are killed with blunt objects each year remains constant.
But don't let the facts get in the way of a good old panic-pushing agenda that has no basis in reality.

its not the weapon of choice its the intent of the person. If someone wants to murder someone they will use whatever is easiest and most accessible.
Hey NW Siders, your neighbor and State Senator, John Mulroe (endorsed by the FOP) would not man up and admit he was going to vote for Cullerton's gun ban. Mulroe and Cullerton swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, not liberal fantasies.
Democrats- not interested in the facts and if disagree with them you are a racist/gun nut/religious zealot. Gotta love their open-mindedness.
You shut up...lol
We're going to use this crisis to create constitutional challenges and jobs for the cities law department. Taxpayer money that we don't have, well spent, pissed away on lawyers.
It's THEIR entitlement!
/sarcasm
To all the northwest side cops (and non cops) this is your state senator. he is yet "undecided" on how to vote on the the new proposed anti-gun law in Springfield.

They who hijack the narrative, dictate the agenda especially in the absense of a directed response by an informed, highly pissed off, highly motivated public.
The exception being the gun owners back east who turned the tables on the media-mopes who cried "foul."
Liberalism is a mental disorder
Fuck Illinois.
Educate your children so they can escape to America.
The Chicago beast will kill with sticks and stones if he has no guns.
ban people and render these objects useless
Damn carpenters!
There you go again SCC, reporting facts , and not the lame-stream media's bogeyman stories that passes for the news.
Alderfool Mell is stepping down so his daughter can fill in and continue to destroy Chicago. Mell is the clown that forgot to register his multiple handguns, so Daley made a one time exception and extended the registration so Mell could get his dozens of guns registered.
Democrats. Disarm and fleece the peasants. If they resist, send them to the gulag. They need to be used as fertilizer for the tree of liberty.
Every politician that used the eastcoast tragedy to play with peoples emotions and attack the 2nd ammendment because it fits their agenda is a fucking asshole
Ban hammers. The dumbocrats can use their heads to
put in nails. After all there is nothing in their heads but rocks.
MS
Democrats deny one in four women protection from rape (and murder)
Hammers must be banned...and carpenters, too. Wait a minute. Wasn't there a famous carpenter about 2000 years ago who didn't bash anyone with a hammer? It's not easy being a democrat. Thinking hurts my head.
Ban politicians , thats how we do it. In fact lets ban demofncraps they do the most damage to the REPUBLIC!
MULROE must be a JAGOFF!!!!!!
Off the topic
The Jag off who duct taped his 22 month old daughter and posted it on line, after beating the felony charge, said someday he will look back and laugh about it.
f$&k you, you shitty savage and your piece of shit atty who smiled about your ignorant statement.
If I had a hammer,
I'd hammer in the morning.
I'd hammer in the evening...
I just adore Trunk Lopez .
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Don't give Rahmbo ideas.... he won't ban hammers, clubs, fists and feet he'll tax em!
north side ryan:
have you tried to buy a gun any time in the past decade? too easy? you're mistaken.
and we're already required to keep receipts for all firearms transactions for 10 years. you would have a perpetual list? sorry, ain't flying here.
thanks for the civil discourse though.
to "skew the numbers"
listen here asshat - we don't owe you a forum to spout BS. we delete obvious lies and half-truths and things we know don't exist, even in the fever swamps of your imagination.
and we just love how you go right to the personal insults like a tiny brained liberal who doesn't get her way instead of trying to determine where you went afoul of the rules we set here.
boo-hoo-hoo. asshat.
If you look at the data cited in the link - there were roughly 13,636 homicides caused by weapons in 2009. 9,146 were murders with guns. Just under 1000 are labeled as "unknown". The rest are knives, clubs, hammers, etc. So...70% of homicides are done with guns. Not sure which side of the argument this supports.
