Per the 2017 FBI Uniform Crime Report, in the US, the number of homicides committed by weapon type were:
Knives - 1,591
Personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.) - 692
Blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.) - 467
Rifles - 403
So to me, it sounds like common cutlery, human appendages, and hammers are the real enemy here.
Discuss.
PS. In the non-homicide realm, motor vehicles killed 40,100 Americans in the same period. (110 people a day)
