So truck run downs are ok with you? Is there something about a number? 400 bad, 6 ok? It's not about the weapons, it's about the kooks doing the killing.

Would you be OK if 400 people stabbed one person each? 200 people stabbing 2 people each? 10 people stabbing 40 people each? I mean we can both play silly numbers games, you know the point. Bad people will do bad things with whatever they can get their hands on. Deal with the bad people, not the weapons.

Even if it saves one life....Remember the line? How many laws, rules and regulations have been foisted on us?

Brilliant! I am afraid the algebra is too much for him.

lol, that is exactly what I said, yeah. rme 400 > 6 and as far as I know, no one died in this attack, probably because a knife was used instead of a gun.

Good thing white people, such Americans, never go on killing sprees... oh, wait... happens so often these days it barely makes the news for more than a day.

Ah, right-wing logic, where if a brown person stabs somebody with a knife, we need to kill all the brown people, but if a white person kills some people with a gun, we need more guns... to shoot brown people.

Let me guess-another of those radical Christian "Taliban" terrorists the left is always telling us about. Right?

What is silly is trying to pretend like gun and knife attacks are the same. A person with a knife at least has to catch up to me, and overpower me and they can't go after multiple people running in different directions. There is no comparison.

I would prefer to deal with both the bad people and the weapons.

It's one of the two for sure.

I don't subscribe to all or nothing propositions. I don't think guns should be banned either. Comparing guns to knives is just dumb.
