The Washington Examiner’s Julio Rosas also points out that “blunt objects, such as clubs and hammers, killed 467 people, with hands, fists, and feet killing 696 in 2017.” Maybe they were automatic hammers? Or high-capacity fists?

And they do it because they know that the odds are slim that the media Guardians of Truth will ever call them out on it.
