The FBI’s Uniform Crime Report (UCR) indicates that knives or cutting tools were used in over twice as many homicides across the United States in 2021 compared to people who used rifles to commit murder.

According to the agency’s annual data, 447 people were killed with rifles last year, while 1,035 people were killed with “knives or cutting instruments.”
