FACT: GUNS KILL 17 Times more people than Bats and hammers.

An idiot Republican said after the inaugural that more people are killed by bats and hammers than guns - NOT TRUE!  This same fellow also believes that the world is 9000 years old.  Bring a bat or hammer over a gun with a 100 or 30 bullet clip into my room filled with children any day.  Anything that can kill more than 3 people in a minute should be outlawed.

Facts about Guns vs Blunt Object deaths in the US.

Guns are, undeniably, the American murderer’s weapon of choice. The number of people murdered with firearms in 2011 was more than twice the number murdered by every other means combined, including fists, swords, poison, explosives, arson, and strangulation.
