I love how people lecture Americans on gun ownership while conveniently ignoring that place where gun ownership is unlawful, STABBINGS are five time higher. The problem isn't the weapon, it is the people. You can use human hair to kill someone via strangulation. The hands can be a deadly weapon.

@jimmywest8684 Because other countries have a stabbing problem instead. When guns are banned, people resort to knives, tire irons, and other implements of destruction. Seriously, stabbings are FIVE TIMES HIGHER where guns are banned.

@jimmywest8684 You numbers are cherry picked. First, you did NOT differentiate gun violence from other kinds of violence. You are trying to be clever by half. Then you ignore that some violent crimes which do not result in serious injury (such as fist cuff fights) are not reported. You are a totalitarian shill who wants a disarmed population so you can exploit. A disarmed population is easier to abuse.

@Mark5mith Criminals can use knives to kill. Just look at Londonstan.

@supergamergrill7734 that is a red herring argument (logical fallacy). I do agree that "no tolerance polices" make the situation worse by empowering the actual bullies.

@supergamergrill7734 Whether the stabbing results in death or not is irrelevant. That is a red herring argument. A murderer is still going to murder whether it is with a gun or a baseball bat. And I would argue that bludgeoning someone to death or stabbing them over and over is far more brutal than getting shot.

@supergamergrill7734 You are deflecting. You somehow act like a POSSBILE higher chance of survival somehow makes things better. it does not. But I post this for you. Plano, Texas, the "gun nut capital" of the world with the highest gun ownership has the LOWEST homicide rate in the world. Now contrast that with "gun free-zone" cities like Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Stockton, Kansas City, St. Louis, Newark, Philadelphia, Memphis, and Atlanta where most of the killings in the US occur. Each of them by themselves would occupy one of the top 10 most deadly if they were their own country. Incidentally, Honduras and Venezuela have the highest per capita murder rates in the world, and BOTH have made gun ownership unlawful. The problem isn't gun ownership. The problem is politicians who take away gun rights.

@supergamergrill7734 Again a false narrative based on feelings and not on facts. Straw purchases are already unlawful, which is why most gun sellers will not permit them lest they lose their FFL. Second, it is unlawful to carry a firearm across state lines without an FFL. The problem isn't lax gun laws, it is that those laws are useless and would do nothing to actually prevent violent crimes. Again, you are blatantly ignoring cold hard facts because they run counter to your narrative.

Blaming the parents is fine, but it is NOT the legalization of guns that is the problem. People will resort to knives in the absence of guns. Stabbings are five times higher where guns are unlawful.

@Tropxxxx You would be surprised. My grandparents got me a knife for Christmas when I was 9. I turned around and had my parents hold onto it because I did not trust myself at the time. I was afraid I would cut my own fingers off with it.
