FWIW - New Hampshire once had over three pages of knife control laws banning just about every kind of knife or sword. This law was recently canceled by the legislature. We also made our gun control laws much more reasonable although there is a foolish attempt to require background checks on personal sales. Fortunately this stands little chance of passing.
INHO - someone, like over 50%, in that unfortunate crowd should have been carrying a gun and used it to stop that assailant before he killed anyone. That is what an armed population is for.
Except the attack in that Chinese station was by a GROUP of men armed with knives. That's why five of them were shot dead by police and several others are being sought after.
Also as much as you think citizens armed with guns can stop such an attack, think of how much more deadly an attack this would've been if these murderers were armed with guns as well. In a nation like China where its mostly gun free, there's absolutely no reason to arm its citizens when the amount of crime and murder is so low even with serious knife attacks occuring every now and then.
In the US however the situation is different and having citizens armed wouldn't be such a bad idea.

The thought of the general public "protecting itself" scares me. What could possibly go wrong when people with guns are allowed to shot when feeling threatened
5 were involved in knife attack [packed subway station]
2 teenagers were involved in gun attack [Large school] (And it was 15 dead)
What's your point? It sure sounds like you are implying that, if the gun-grabbers get their way and actually manage to take away our rights, then it will be utopia because only one-third as many people will die per murderer in one of these killing sprees.
So basically: slightly less death + loss of American civil rights = win, according to the gun grabbers? Sure sounds like a fair trade to me...
You don't ban knives. You ban Muslims FROM EVERYWHERE. Literally the most useless religion and people on earth who contribute nothing but violence, death and destruction no matter where they go.
The sooner the world's governments close their borders to Muslim immigrants and deport any troublemakers that are already in their countries ASAP is the only way the world can save itself from this eternal plague on humankind.
so now you want to ban religions. unfortunately that wont work, they will just go underground. governments have tried that in the past with no results.

which menas two eight round magazines loaded with .45acp rounds would have ended the attack.

You are dumb or trolling. Which is it
in point of fact the US military DOES use knives. the marines as far as i know still use the K bar, as does the navy and the army. makes for a nice way to eliminate sentries quietly.

Organized attacks = slightly less deaths
Daily life = far more deaths
