In reply to the discussion: five dead in OK mass shooting [View all]revmclaren
(2,604 posts)77. A knife as an example...
Weapon that is up close and personal. Many times it takes multiple wounds to cause mortality. After just one stab, she could have woken up. She could have screamed...fought back...all this time he would have risked injuring himself, her getting away, his getting covered in blood. Her screams could have woken up the still sleeping victims. 4 chances of escape...dialing 911...locking their doors, etc. This would have been true with each of the victims.
But with gun...pop...dead...pop...dead...pop...dead and on and on. Less mess, no contact.
Yeah...knives and other weapons are the same.
Bullshit!

My family had a gun related incident leaving my niece dead. Without that gun present, she would be alive today.

Maybe if guns hadn't been so heavily promoted. That could be part of helpful regulations. n/t

Sure. Like with cigarettes. Maybe just a stop gap measure until we can do something about the inbreeding crisis. n/t

Other "advanced" countries have a tiny fraction of the gun violence/deaths we do.

Another male family annihilator. They think they deserve the ultimate control.
