Murder [View all]

From the 2009 FBI UCR, there were 13,756 murders. 352 were committed with rifles. They were not all AR type rifles nor, necessarily, any on DiFi's list of bad rifles. (about 2.5%)

For the same year 815 murders were accomplished with "personal weapons", that's hands and feet, BTW. (almost 6%)

If we need to register rifles, shouldn't we also take fingerprints and hand impressions of the whole population? Wouldn't that help in fighting crime?
