canadiancon Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 oh wait, you can't really strangle and stab 20 children in a short time like you can with a gun. especially an Assault gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electro Rock Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Ban semiautomatic .22s!¡!!!!!!!! I think that somebody who knew what they were doing could kill 20 unarmed people in a rampage with a reasonably concealable bladed weapon, not a steak knife mind you but something along the lines of a tactical tomahawk, saperka shovel, or Nepalese Kukuri. Those are all one-hit-kill capable weapons that are used in the elite military context for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inane Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Unfortunately it's going to take a knife wielding maniac actually killing a bunch of people for them to realise how deadly knives are, but keep in mind no amount of logic on the subject will deter the fervent demonising of guns over the mental state of the person wielding it.

Electro Rock Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Stealth? And it takes lot of training to kill efficiently with a bladed weapon. The kill ratio is way down and it takes way more time as we saw from an incident that took place at about the same time as the Sandy Hook shootings. A man wielding a knife stabbed an elderly woman and then 22 children outside an elementary school in China on Friday before being subdued by security guards. ... A doctor at Guangshan's hospital of traditional Chinese medicine said that nine students had been admitted, two of which were subsequently transferred to better-equipped hospitals elsewhere in the country. None of the children have died. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/12/14/china-knife-attack-school.html Any scrote can take an AR-15 style semi-automatic and efficiently dispatch any number of people as we have seen recently.

Wetcoaster Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Much less so with a blade with sufficient weight and leverage, and the training to use one is available just about everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 What I was getting at is, if someone were to put as much preparation into a mass killing (with an easily obtainable melee weapon) as some of these rampage shooters do, they could probably achieve reasonable similar body counts. I agree that's not going to happen with a butter knife, but we weren't talking about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tearloch7 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Most of those military style tomahawks can be used for breaching doors and otherwise gaining entry to closed areas, otherwise he could have brought some dedicated entry tools with him or gained access a different way altogether.

Charlie.the.Unicorn Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 You seem to know Lanza awfully well?? what are you, a mind reader or just a "great minds think alike" type of fella?? .. if he was serious, he would have used explosives and taken out thousands .. he was a sick kid who stole his Mommy's assault type weapons and killed the innocent .. nothing more ..

Tearloch7 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I am pretty sure all weapons have the potential to assault the last time I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
