This was my first thought when I read the article. Reminded me of Emma Gonzalez's powerful speech- (paraphrase) the maniac wouldn't have caused that much carnage, if he had a knife.

(29,676 posts)Whenever someone says that gun control won't work because they'll just get a knife. This was a knife attack. It shows one huge difference between a knife and a gun: with the knife attack everyone is expected to survive.
They should have mentioned at the bottom it was a story from 2014 but it serves a purpose.
