Look, half the people here know the truthiness... that AR-15s kill far more people every year than covid-19 AND removing mattress tags COMBINED.
I mean, according to your "facts" 581 people are killed per year with rifles and that's just not true! Look at the media coverage! Since vastly more coverage is given to people murdered with AR-15 than people murdered with handguns, it's obvious your numbers are incorrect!
Actually...
59% of US gun murders and non-negligent manslaughters were attributable to handguns. 1% involved shotguns, and 3% involved rifles that included assault weapons.
means that 37% is unaccounted for.
Maybe they meant "murders" and not "gun murders"?
