I must have missed it. What part of Canada did this happen in? |

Two questions. One, was the knife designed specifically to kill as are most handguns? Two, was the knife designed for concealed carry as are many handguns? |

Why does that matter? Isn't it the end result that matters. Anything that is used as a weapon is bad, isn't it, regardless of the purpose of making it? |

Of course not. That is one of the reasons no one has suggested controlling axes. |

Of course a knife can kill - it's just more difficult, especially to commit multiple killings. No law or any other procedure is going to stop all killings. It's a stupid argument to claim that if a plan can't achieve 100% success, the plan isn't worth doing at all. The bullet that prevented killings was fired from a gun held by a professional. Quite different from some amateur playing cowboy. I don't recall anyone here saying police shouldn't have guns. Edited by Brewster, Nov 6 2015, 02:31 AM.

This is a quote from the article, "Authorities are investigating a motive. Warnke said the knife contained a blade that was eight to 10 inches long." -A handgun is designed to kill, for target practice, for defense and to be housed in a holster or locker. -A hunting knife is designed to kill (as in a bayonet), for gutting a deer and to be housed in a belt mounted sheath or locker. The article said the hunting knife had an 8 to 10 inches long blade. This is a picture of a hunting knife with a 9 inch long blade: Link Or, pick one: https://www.boker.de/us/fixed-blade-knife/magnum/hunting-outdoor-knife.html Either in the wrong hands can kill, and either can be used for non killing purposes. |
