How Many More Must Die Before Liberals Will Support Meaningful Knife Control?

[mikegriffith1]

How many more people have to die or suffer serious injury before liberals will support meaningful knife control? After all, people don't stab people--knives do. Just today, five people were seriously stabbed at the University of California.

Logical fallacy.

False equivalence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"A common way for this fallacy to be perpetuated is one shared trait between two subjects is assumed to show equivalence, especially in order of magnitude, when equivalence is not necessarily the logical result. False equivalence is a common result when an anecdotal similarity is pointed out as equal, but the claim of equivalence doesn't bear because the similarity is based on oversimplification or ignorance of additional factors. The pattern of the fallacy is often as such: "If A is the set of c and d, and B is the set of d and e, then since they both contain d, A and B are equal". d is not required to exist in both sets; only a passing similarity is required to cause this fallacy to be able to be used."

I like these threads, showing how well gun control worked. The victims are all alive, the criminal dead, and he was shot by the people we pay to carry guns and if necessary, use them. Couldn't have worked out any better unless it never happened or they didn't have to kill the guy. A nearly perfect example of how gun control can work and much better than then guy who shot the victim of a car-jacking, and then ran away before the cops arrived.

Oh yes, a person is mucho more dead when they are killed with a gun instead of a knife.

This would have been better if the victims died.

If Bed Bath and Beyond should implement background checks for people buying these dangerous knifes or we should hold them legally liable for these killings!

Are parties are lucky that the psycopath used a knife instead of a gun.

Thats called a deflection from my point. How are gun control and knife control the same without using the false equivalence mistake of a logical fallacy the OP made?
