Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
If they banned every rifle....
If they flat out banned and waved a magic wand and removed all rifles of all kinds in the USA, they would only save 323 who were killed by a bullet fired from a long gun.
According to this:

This is not just any repost. There are half a dozen threads on this.
Really? I have searched high and low for the FBI stats. Didn't find them on this site. I've been digging for days on the fbi site for this info.
Apologies.

I'm glad you (re)posted it. I've looked on the FBI page for longer than I'd like to admit for these stats.Originally Posted by reapur

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
Are you looking for something specfic? There is a lot of data there in a pretty good level of detail.
Actually they wouldn't save 1. Methodology would change to another option. Same thing with suicides.
Hell, some teenager in the UK was killed by a gang with swords a few weeks ago.
American doesn't have gun problem. It doesn't have a gang problem, or a drug problem, an obesity problem, drunk driving problem, or an unwed teenage mothers problem. America has a responsibility problem. When we as a society can figure out how to collectively be a responsible people, we will see these problem go away.
Please note, not everybody has a responsibility problem. In fact IMHO people here are part of the solution not the problem.

Beat you to it Jim!
No problem just busting your chops a little. There have been multiple posts linking the gun death by rifle stats. We will give you a pass.
This time!
Dave Kopel wrote a great piece on the folly of gun control as a means of making the world a saver place several years ago.
Imagine a world without guns.

Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
