1. You know, maybe the world did end with the red moon, the sane world that is.

[Scootaloo]

6. The world actually ended with hte proliferation of hydrocarbon-powered engines

We're just inheriting the wasteland.

[Lunabell]

2. Thank god there wasn't a gun

Could've been much worse.

[Fla Dem]

9. My thought exactly. Would have been some dead people if a gun had been involved. nt

[EL34x4]

21. Maybe, maybe not.

80% of all gunfire wounds are non-fatal. Plenty of people are stabbed to death.

[Saviolo]

11. That was my first thought reading this

I was linked to it by a friend who lives in that neighbourhood.

I decided I wouldn't put anything in the OP about it, because there was -no way- I would be able to do it without being snarky or ugly about it. But yes, for all that the gun "enthusiasts" claim that people will find any way they can to kill people, this just goes to show that someone with a knife is not going to be nearly as deadly as someone with a gun could be.

15. Sounds like a good argument for our LEOs to model the Brit Bobbies - no sidearms.

Or is it?

[tularetom]

3. Universal background checks for knife purchases!

Close the knife show loophole!

Ban assault knives!

[brush]

7. Laugh it up, but if a gun was involved instead of a knife you and I both know there would have . . .

been fatalities.

[GGJohn]

24. You don't know that,

as was posted above, 80% of gunshot wounds are non fatal.

[brush]

25. Keep telling yourself that . . .

and tell that to the dead person in today's Texas Southern University shooting and tell that to the dead person in Saturday's Baltimore shooting — and their families.

How about that?

[GGJohn]

26. I'm not the one telling you, the stats tell us that. eom.

[brush]

27. Way to avoid the issue and ignore the dead bodies from the gun deaths mentioned.

[GGJohn]

28. I'm not avoiding anything,

I'm just stating a fact, something you seem unwilling to acknowledge.

[brush]

31. So what percentage of knifings result in fatalities?

We both know it's a whole lost less than with guns so your fact proves nothing but what everyone else on this thread but you is saying — if a gun had been involved in the incident in the OP, one fatality would would have resulted according to your "1 in 5 fact that 80% of shootings are non-fatal.

It's that other 20%, according to your fact, that's the problem.

[GGJohn]

32. Or there may not have been any fatalities.

As I said, you don't know if there would have been a fatality if a firearm were involved.

[brush]

35. You're the one that quoted that 80% or shootings are non-fatal

Don't back off now.

There were five people so 4 out of five would have had non-fatal wounds. Too bad for other dead guy.

And what about the one out of the four shot at Northern Arizona University today?

That "one" is dead.

[Paladin]

14. How utterly predictable.

Pro-gun activists absolutely live for instances of violence involving knives.

[GGJohn]

29. Yeah, that's all we live for.

[christx30]

18. These were injuries. Most not life threatening.

If a gun had been involved, there would be funeral arrangements to make instead of an ER visit.
You'll never stop homocidal idiots. They will outlast the sun. But you can limit the damage they can do.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

20. Actually, this disproves the "good guy with a knife" theory.

[KamaAina]

4. "for treatment of injuries considered to be non-life-threatening"

Therein lies the difference between a knife and a gun.

[Shadowflash]

5. Yup.

[tosh]

10. Exactly.

[Saviolo]

13. It's gratifying

That all the comments so far have really picked up the reason I thought this was a relevant post.

[FSogol]

19. +1 n/t

[Turbineguy]

8. Stop economic inequality!

make guns as cheap as knives!

[Schema Thing]

12. "non-life-threatening" eom

16. 4 Dead, 1 Injured At Jimmy's Seafood In Baltimore

Just wanted to update the title for all the Gun Fuckheads out there who are salivating at the chance to say....."SEE....NOT A GUN, NOT A GUN......BAN ALL KNIVES!!!!!!"

This would have been the headline if even ONE GUN had been involved.

I guess it's stories like this that make you so happy, since people were hurt and a gun was not involved.

Just don't see the forest through the trees.

[Helen Borg]

17. Had guns been involved...

The outcome would have been quite different, I think.

[Sliceo]

22. Crazy

[edgineered]

23. If and when the guns are gone,

someone will want to beat swords into plowshares. At that point it will become knives into sporks.

[GGJohn]

30. If and when the guns are gone,

Firearms will NEVER be gone.

[edgineered]

33. we know that,

just as we know that no amount of legislation will ever be enough to satisfy the anti's. The swords into plowshares comes from the book of Isaiah, long before firearms. It is being used here to show that no matter how few or how limited our tools are, someone will be unhappy with them and want to eliminate them. The grabbers overlook this as part of their personal vendetta, believing that it only applies to firearms. Clearly, as shown by the words in the old testament this is nothing new. They just don't see it.

[GGJohn]

34. Excellent analysis.

As has been proven here time and time again, when gun control ideas are floated, the inevitable response is "that's a good START", words which raise the hairs on the back of my neck.
