High school kid goes berserk, stabs 19 classmates in Pennsylvania. Knives are too cheap and easy to buy. There should be background checks. It's the cultery lobby. The NKA owns congress. (Man 1: Gunter Wilhelm will always have a pal in me) (Man 2: Thank you, congressman) We need knife control. A bowie knife is enough for home defense. Why do you need a butcher knife? To fight bears? The culture glorifies knife violence. You can't ignore the video games factor. (Man 3: 62 stabbings, 15 newtings, 44 punctures, Ginsu master!) No matter what, we'll make sure nothing like this ever happens again. (Barack Obama: Unfortunately, the bill to require voluntary dullifying of knives over 2 feet long failed along party lines...)
As has been frequently pointed out, it’s 19 ‘injured’ with the attacker subdued as opposed to 26 dead and the shooter killing themselves.
Neither is good, but you can run away or with a little help defend yourself from a knife, but neither for a gun.
