| Rolling Stone: The 5 Most Dangerous Guns in America |
| 2014-07-15 |
| Spoiler Alert: It's all of them Rolling Stone cooks the books.. Contrary to what those who defend the right to own high-powered assault rifles believe, not all guns are created equal. Due to a combination of availability, portability and criminal usage the following five types of guns are the country's most dangerous. Using firearm trace data from the ATF, as well as FBI homicide records, we determined the types of guns most often recovered from crime scenes and/or used in murders. The numbers are stark: According to the FBI's 2012 Crime in the US data, nearly 70 percent of homicides for which the FBI received weapons data involved the use of a firearm and handguns alone accounted for about 72 percent of firearms used in murders and non-negligent manslaughter. While the FBI does not elaborate on the type of handguns used in these incidents, the ATF's analysis of weapons confiscated from crime scenes provides a more specific look at the weapons criminals prefer, which we've shared with you here |

| #1 I hate to quibble, but what they have listed are the most popular firearms. Dangerous firearms would be firearms that explode when fired, go off half-cocked, and similar malfunctions. |
