This particular deranged murderer made a lot of noise and managed to kill (I think) just two people. The very list of knife events you reject demonstrates how quickly the body count can rise with a committed knife attacker. Bladed weapons were responsible for industrial-strength slaughter for millennia.  [/quote]
Besides the two dead, there were 17 injured including 14 children.    Many of these (especially among those classified as being in critical condition) will likely be crippled for life.

Also note that the murderer shot at the children through the Church windows.      This is something that could not be done with a knife.      Yes, a committed knife attacker can kill multiple people, but it is much, much easier done with a gun.[/quote]

Also BFR. If you were shopping at Target with your kids and a crazy violent person came into the store, would you rather they have an AR-15 or a knife? … there is only one sane answer here [/quote]

It depends. Are they 5 feet away? Is the weapon drawn and ready? Am I armed ? Is there cover nearby? Does  the crazy person have concealment? Have clear are their lines of shooting or are there objects that make wielding a knife easier than a gun?

If you have self defense training, which I highly recommend anyone get in this reality you learn that some situations are more favorable than others based off what scenario you are in as to weapon type of an aggressor.[/quote]

I have been following your responses and arguments all day here. You are far too informed and sensible to be arguing with these people.[/quote]

I don’t see how this is sensible. If someone is 5 feet away they may be able to stab you, but they can definitely shoot you. Heck they can shoot you from much farther away before you even see them. [/quote]

The vast majority of criminal shootings are at very close range. This case actually is an exception because the murderer stayed outside the building and fired blindly through stained glass windows. [/quote]
