Now before people start jumping down my throat, I'm not posting this because I'm against better gun control in the US, I'm posting it as an example that knifes can and do inflict massive casualties. Both of the above attacks happened in countries that boast very strict gun control. |
No, they sure can't.
In the Chinese example, it took eight perpetrators and a rather shoddy response by police to reach that death toll. Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook required only one perpetrator and mere minutes to equal it.
If those eight people used firearms, the death toll would have been in the hundreds.
