Weapons of Individual Destruction

Handguns are the weapon of choice for US murderers.

In 1998, handguns were used to murder 7,361 Americans, while "knives or cutting instruments" trailed in second place with only 1,877 slayings.

If you never believed some drunk asshole who said, "These fists are lethal weapons, dude," well, some of those drunk assholes were telling the truth. 949 Americans were murdered in 1998 by aggressors who did it with their hands and feet.
