    Kinda goes to prove the point that all these killings aren’t a gun issue since mass killing is possible either way (its just easier with a gun). Taking guns away would be akin to placing society in a giant old school mental asylum where we are all in straight jackets. Sure we would all be killing each other a lot less when we are in straight jackets all day, but it doesn’t stop the violent thoughts and ideation.

      Mass killings are always going to happen. The difference is that it’s a lot harder to kill a lot of people with a knife than it is with a automatic handgun or rifle. Effective range of a knife is maybe 1-2 metres. Effective range of a gun is hundreds of metres.
