It's about perception in the U.S. more than practical application. Brass knuckles are considered gangster weapons, as well, knives are thought to be used more in offensive attacks than defense, I don't know where the perception is on batons but it always has something to do with a crime committed somewhere and who did it rather than what was used.
Yeah. I don't blame someone for sheltering if there is no one in the line of attack or if there is literally nothing they can do, like trying to run down a ranged weapon, but in the case of a knife murder................step back and weaponize something, a person attacking with a knife is committed to violence without a doubt.
Well it's good to see you know where your priorities are. First comes pushing a political agenda, then the lives of people.
You know the first thing that came to my mind after reading about this tragedy was not guns versus knives but wondering if this young male was another that had been put on anti-depressant drugs? There's been a disturbing increase of the use of these drugs in youth and young adults. The evidence is becoming overwhelming that there is a link to violent behavior and the use of these drugs especially in teens and young adults. It will be interesting to see if that is the case in days to come. Colombine, Virginia Tech, the Joker..... even the Ft. Hood shooter was on Ambien. Just a thought.
