Time to ban knives on college campuses. 9 stabbed in Houston

[Zoom-boing]

Criminals do not follow laws....does that mean we should not have laws?

Neither do the mentally insane. Does that mean we should not try to keep high capacity weapons out of their hands?

Which "high capacity" knives would you ban?

Steak knives? Butter knives are okay, but not if they have more than 10 serrations. Spoons modified to look like assault steak knives will be banned as well. You never know when some peasant may use a spoon modification kit to create a high capacity steak knife from one....

Don't forget sporks!

It's not the person's the fault, it's the knife.

If not for the knife he couldn't of stabbed all these people.

We need a vote.

I don't know if it's the knife's FAULT, but it might be as well to keep knives away from psychotics, yesssssss.

If you disagree, I think you should spend a night in a violent psycho's room, with a table of knives next to his bed.



Sleep tight.

You ready yet, blooming idiot? Gonna admit your mistake?

Seriously, we need to ban people now!

What we need to do is ensure convicted felons and the insane can buy weapons at gun shows. Its frankly nuts to take actions that would prevent that from happening.

There's a chance that will stop insane people, if anyone knows that they are insane.

But convicted felons?

They have a myriad of methods to obtain weapons, no matter what you do to them. Only law abiding citizens obey the law.

"Only law abiding citizens obey the law". Gee, what a brilliant remark. Did you think that up all by yourself?

How about this, many a law abiding citizens first and only criminal act was to murder another human being, many times it was a family member and sometimes one or a dozen or more strangers. Evil is not easy to discern, it isn't in the color of ones skin or the God they worship or deny, and no one can predict when it will become manifest in horrific ways.

There are some precursors which a thorough background check can discover, but not everyone with a substance abuse problem or a cheating spouse, an insolent child or a job loose will act out violently. But some do.

There is on sure thing. The answer is not more guns.

I won't pretend to know the answer to gun violence in America, but it's time Government to put money into finding common factors - if they exist - of those who commit mass murder and those who kill strangers and family members. And, develop a means to make their ownership, possession or custody and control of a gun capable of mass murder very difficult to obtain. The only way is to make those who provide them such a weapon culpable for any harm caused by such a weapon.

And it's time for the gun lovers and NRA to recognize the murders at Sandy Hook changed America, those who can't are those who should never own a firearm for they lack empathy. A lack of empathy for those personally impacted by the Sandy Hook Massacre is one marker of someone likely to commit murder.

And how do you propose to do that?

Several stabbed at Lone Star College | News - Home

Ironic. Someone went on a stabbing rampage in a state with loose gun laws.

 

[RoadVirus]

Thank God(if you believe in that sort of thing)it wasn't a semi-automatic weapon with a few high capacity clips. How many could have been killed?

I bet Obama was pissed though. No dead bodies to climb on while making his way to the podium for a "tearful" press conference.

So it appears we have evidence that if we ban guns the resulting massacres would be much less severe

No, it is not obvious, since "lame" is in the eye of the beholder. I don't know what is lame to you, left or right.

Never mind. I see you don't want to say what you mean clearly. Not very useful to be on a forum and be so vague, IMO.

Geez!

The " we need to ban knives" lame assed point that is the topic of this thread and has been used thousands of times here since the Newtown massacre took place.

What else could I have been referring to?

Clearly. But let's just ban the fashion-statement assault rifles, which seem to send a lot of weak brains over the top, somehow.

If we ban all guns, normal people won't be able to shoot home invaders or marauding predator animals, and that would be a problem.

This guy told police he has been fantasizing killing people since he was a child, and he planned this attack out carefully. Apparently nobody knew this about him. What are you really going to do about people like that? It seems hopeless to deal with real madness of this careful, sly kind.

A BUNCH of these characters were known to psychologists/psychiatrists, however, if not to police, and so I think that's where to start. There has to be a lot more communication between psychologists and police about these madmen. Apparently the Colorado psychologist DID tell police about James Holmes, the Batman killer, but they did nothing till he showed up with orange hair and body armor and two assault rifles shooting everyone he could.

This whole process needs to change. If people know about these crazies, I think they simply should be locked up in a mental asylum. It was a terrible mistake to get rid of mental hospitals, just like it was a terrible mistake to legalize assault rifles and high-capacity magazines. There is NO really sane reason to have an assault rifle in America: anyone who does have one is suspect in my eyes for paranoia.
