Requiem ex Inferni
You might want to take a look at those stats again, bro. There were 8,583 murders with firearms in 2011, not "ten thousand".
Look at 2007; that was where I was looking when I picked numbers. 10,129 (total firearms), 647 (blunt objects), 869 (hands, feet &c). Makes 1,519 any kind of beating, 10,129 any kind of gun.
For 2011, that's 8,583 which killed using guns, 1,224 which killed using beatings. (Making beatings 14.2% of the quantity of gun murders, rather than 14.9%.)

Also, I wasn't posing any sort of argument here, so I'm not sure where you got the notion that I was.
Of course you're making an argument, or you wouldn't be here. Don't try to bullshit.
