Homicides and bans

I am writing in response to the letter written by Kathy Repak on Nov. 18. She states that AR-15s were used in 16 mass shootings. She also states that these are startling numbers.

Here is something to ponder. In 2014 (the latest statistics that I could find from the FBI), 374 homicides were perpetrated during that entire year. This was all rifles and not just AR-15s.

That same year, the homicides due to fists, hands and feet totaled to 656. How do you propose to ban hands, fists, and feet?
