While this is a tragedy..boy do I feel vindicated! LETS BAN KNIVES!!!

Nurok April 10, 2014 09:48AM

In this country knives above a certain length are banned

Elystan April 11, 2014 01:38AM

Are you sure?

Death_Claw April 11, 2014 03:51PM

in your country, Rambo would have been killed by that sheriff, thereby depriving us of several good sequels (n/t)

Doof April 11, 2014 05:35AM

About that

Elystan April 11, 2014 10:30AM

Exactly the opposite. If he'd had a gun, we'd have dozens if not scores more dead. Guns kill people. That's all they do. (n/t)

alansmithee April 10, 2014 10:23AM

Actually, bullets kill people. I'm sure someone has been beat to death with a gun, but I haven't heard about it yet. NT

Sam April 16, 2014 12:25PM

"It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end." (n/t)

Murphy April 16, 2014 09:34PM

The fact that guns kill people is precisely the reason why we need them nt

Rade April 12, 2014 04:24PM

I disagree. A gun is much louder and almost immediately provokes an evacuation and a 911 call. Kids yell and scream at shit in school halls all the time. I imagine he got quite a few down before anyone knew what was happening. (n/t)

Doof April 11, 2014 12:41AM

Past incident record shows you quite clearly wrong.

vortexmagus April 11, 2014 11:21AM

Current incident and logic show me clearly right, and you clearly a snobbish ass. Ever hear of sarcasm? (n/t)

Doof April 11, 2014 11:34PM

Didn't read like sarcasm to me. Perhaps you should work on it. (n/t)

vortexmagus April 12, 2014 06:40AM

I WILL. *snap* (n/t)

Doof April 12, 2014 01:18PM

You Sir ARE WRONG and need to have a talk with Homer J. Simpson. Guns do a LOT more than just kill shit.

Frosty April 10, 2014 03:26PM

yeah, i almost feel like its a troll post. txt

Isildur(VIP) April 10, 2014 11:45AM

You also have to factor in how many deaths are prevented by gun vs prevented by knife.

PaulO April 10, 2014 02:36PM

Something is wrong in a society if you need guns(or knives) to protect yourself in the first place. (n/t)

Cerunnir April 29, 2014 09:59PM

If you don't have a gun/weapon in your home...

Death_Claw April 10, 2014 11:24AM

I'm glad I dont live in a place where one feel the need to own a gun to protect oneself. (n/t)

Cerunnir April 15, 2014 12:26AM

Last I checked people get murdered everywhere on earth.

Death_Claw April 22, 2014 12:12PM

Numbers.

Matrik April 10, 2014 11:29AM

It's true.

Death_Claw April 10, 2014 11:31AM

there is one flaw with your logic

Quas April 10, 2014 11:50AM

I REFUSE TO SURRENDER MY MODEL T-1 !!!!! (n/t)

Nurok April 11, 2014 04:02AM

T-1? Liquid metal is where it's at. Splurge for the T-1000, my friend. (n/t)

MiyagiYojimbo April 11, 2014 02:11PM

Are you Bruce Lee?

Death_Claw April 10, 2014 03:51PM

The point he was making is still valid:

vortexmagus April 11, 2014 11:17AM

Body armor has been around for 60 years and it's still not legal. Let's debate the point when it's not fantasy. n/t

Death_Claw April 11, 2014 03:41PM

Kevlar vests are legal to own and use in most states, unless you're a convicted felon.

vortexmagus April 11, 2014 09:24PM

Right, but adamantite is still banned. (n/t)

Matrik April 12, 2014 10:39AM

Rejoice! We already have the right to carry around high caliber rifles!

MiyagiYojimbo April 11, 2014 02:07PM

I'm pretty sure ammo with military grade penetration is restricted, though. (n/t)

vortexmagus April 11, 2014 03:16PM

You don't need it.

Death_Claw April 11, 2014 03:44PM

You don't need it.

Death_Claw April 11, 2014 03:44PM

Except fighting guns with guns wasn't his logic. Using guns to fight stronger opponent was his logic. (n/t)

Matrik April 10, 2014 12:10PM

agreed, the effort to damage ratio on guns far far outstrips a knife, this was like a 5 minute rampage and so far everyone has "survived" there would have been 10+ corpses if he had a gun and a principle couldn't have subdued him as easily (n/t)

Quas April 10, 2014 10:27AM

Why didn't he use a gun then?

Matrik April 10, 2014 11:16AM

there has not been enough information released to answer that question (n/t)

Quas April 10, 2014 11:51AM

Convenient. (n/t)

Matrik April 10, 2014 01:22PM

It was not all that long ago I was playing against that school or having practices at their fields (n/t)

Quas April 10, 2014 10:17AM

While both sides will pounce on this situation to prove their point, this rampage wasn't "deadly." (n/t)

wrathpuppet April 10, 2014 09:55AM

boo double post. (n/t)

Nurok April 10, 2014 09:57AM

Couple kids are eviscerated and its uncertain as to whether or not they will make it

Nurok April 10, 2014 09:57AM

Unless they're Ragers they shouldn't die from the bleeding at a healer.

wrathpuppet April 10, 2014 01:00PM

They might run out of gold (n/t)

Elystan April 10, 2014 01:04PM

Snakes don't kill people, people kill people.

Matrik April 10, 2014 10:11AM

Gravity saves WAY more than it kills, ban anti-gravity. (n/t)

NbM(VIP) April 10, 2014 10:14AM

Guns and knives also save lives!

Matrik April 10, 2014 11:14AM

No. That is wrong.

alansmithee April 10, 2014 12:41PM

What could possibly go wrong? (n/t)

Rhyaldrin April 12, 2014 12:07AM

I'm glad you feel that you should get to make that decision for us all, o wise one.

Doof April 11, 2014 11:38PM

I tend to agree with Miyagi.

Death_Claw April 10, 2014 04:15PM

WTF? Aren't you a lawyer?

MiyagiYojimbo April 10, 2014 03:36PM

I have no particularly strong opinions on the gun control debate, but

Dune April 12, 2014 05:46PM

Re: I have no particularly strong opinions on the gun control debate, but

MiyagiYojimbo April 13, 2014 04:34PM

Only problem with that...

Matrik April 10, 2014 05:49PM

I agree

MiyagiYojimbo April 10, 2014 06:10PM

Well you're WRONG. Now is always the time to burn documents.

Matrik April 10, 2014 06:11PM

Crimeth incorporation defies and helps your cause at the same time. (n/t)

MiyagiYojimbo April 10, 2014 06:15PM

Don't you use your fancy word talk on me. Ain't gunna work.

Matrik April 10, 2014 06:38PM

Boat, boat... why not?

MiyagiYojimbo April 10, 2014 07:48PM

You know it's not that simple.

wrathpuppet April 10, 2014 03:51PM

It IS that simple.

Matrik April 10, 2014 05:52PM

Cognitive dissonance.

MiyagiYojimbo April 10, 2014 04:11PM

Wrathpuppet is right. This applies to both "sides" (n/t)

Matrik April 10, 2014 05:53PM

The point is that they feel the same way about your views.

wrathpuppet April 10, 2014 04:24PM

What if they really are that stupid though?

Matrik April 10, 2014 05:55PM

Debate nerdery

MiyagiYojimbo April 10, 2014 05:08PM

Heh, "Debate nerdery" "Colossus" (n/t)

Matrik April 10, 2014 05:57PM

Debate nerdery? WTF are you talking about? It's common sense.

wrathpuppet April 10, 2014 05:27PM

I'm sorry, from now on I won't take a side and instead just say both sides are stupid. That shows conviction.

MiyagiYojimbo April 10, 2014 06:04PM

It's not about conviction.

wrathpuppet April 11, 2014 04:17AM

Food for thought.

MiyagiYojimbo April 11, 2014 02:02PM

The issue is that you're not as clear as you think you are.

wrathpuppet April 11, 2014 09:03PM

You lose! (n/t)

MiyagiYojimbo April 12, 2014 12:32AM

You know I wasn't arguing with you, right?

wrathpuppet April 12, 2014 02:39AM

Oh no, sure you weren't.

MiyagiYojimbo April 12, 2014 02:49AM

Here's how it happened from my POV.

wrathpuppet April 12, 2014 03:31AM

We know how well laws keep people from doing things they shouldn't. (n/t)

Srev April 12, 2014 12:29PM

name calling (n/t)

Matrik April 12, 2014 10:38AM

Hmmm.. here's closer to the truth of the conversation.

MiyagiYojimbo April 12, 2014 06:03AM

And it's not about what the law actually says.

PaulO April 11, 2014 09:17AM

Anyone deciding based on fear on either side is a Tom Fool Uncle. (n/t)

Matrik April 10, 2014 05:58PM

More uses:

Matrik April 10, 2014 01:20PM

Guns have many uses. You are wrong.

Matrik April 10, 2014 01:05PM

Not counting intimidating someone into leaving you alone. n/t

Death_Claw April 10, 2014 04:16PM

That too.
