False equivalence – describing two or more statements as virtually equal when they are not.
It’s a favorite meme among gunners. It’s also probably false.

Statistica says “rifles” were used in 447 homicides in 2021. An “unspecified” gun was used in 4740 additional homicides. (I think this is FBI data, which doesn’t have a separate category for assault-style rifles).

“Blunt objects”, a wastebasket containing “clubs, hammers, etc” were used in 243 homicides.

But y’know, don’t confuse the issue with actual data,
