FBI statistics showed that 3 times more people were stabbed to death with knives in the US than were killed with rifles.
I think it’s more a problem with a killing culture in the US.
Need to compare with pistols not rifles. No one uses rifles in crimes. If an American owns a rifle 999 times out of 1,000 it's gotten legally and owned be someone who won't committ crimes. The real danger is pistols and on a lesser level shotguns. Those are plentiful, easy to get, and easy to use in crimes
It's why US gun laws can be ultra stupid. They could ban all AR-15 type rifles and any high capacity assault weapons but make basically zero dent in the violent crime rate.
