Yes, we also know about the knife stabbings in China.
Look, we're not saying that nothing bad will ever happen if you employ comprehensive gun control policies. We get it. You can't ban everything and have a perfectly safe society.
But even with these events in those countries, if you look up statistics on first-world nations, you'll still find that the USA is several standard deviations higher in terms of per-capita homicide rates, and gun crime is explosive. So they're doing something right, and we're not.

Nope.
What has been said here ad nauseam is that the massacre in Charleston could have been stopped with gun control. This is example enough as to why it doesn't. Cars don't kill people, guns don't kill people - those are just tools of criminals who kill people.
Austria, unlike China, BTW is as 1st world as it gets.
So, where is this supposed Bosnian killer's name? Why are killers treated like rape victims by the news media (not just the US media)? Why is his name a secret?

Possibly, but it has nothing to do with guns. Those countrys are nothing like the US at all and I doubt you or anyone else would be willing to make the changes required to make the US like them. You can't just cherry pick one difference and say "see, they do it, so it will work here". The Germans have highways with no speed limits, should we make I-90/I-94 unlimited across the US? Afterall it works there.
