and knives still arent banned. where is the justice?


Utility versus risk.

Knives have much greater utility and lower risk than automatic rifles. It's the same reason people talk about banning guns but not cars.

1, Santara caught his own mistake before anyone else did.
2, he's earned enough cred to make a few boo-boos. We might rib him good-naturedly over it but it's not the same as some shitposting random coming in and spewing useless crap. Santara's earned his stripes.

Even had this happened yesterday, you've provided no prompt aside from something occurred.

Why did you post this thread? What did you want to discuss? Do you consider yourself news literate, and how does that square with falling into a Facebook feed grandma trap? Do you consider this sort of snowballing of contemporaneous stranger danger sensationalism worthwhile, or is it a disingenuous clicks grab?

Good thread.


The argument is that guns shouldn't be banned because other things are dangerous, too. Sort of a hard sell in my mind.

Interestingly, many countries ban knives above a certain length.


A knife here cannot have more than 1 cutting edge, be longer than 7 cm with width of 14 mm or less, be longer than 9 cm.
Always forbidden:
Stiletto's, butterfly knives; Folding knives, if the length unfolded is longer than 28 cm; Boxing brackets, throwing stars, ballistic knives; White weapons that look similar to an object other than a weapon; ..... and more.

Knifes are for pussies though, no-one would miss those.

5 guys with knives killed 29 people before being killed.

One guy with guns killed 50 people and wounded a few hundred.
Now how do you think this packed subway situation goes down if those 5 guys had automatic rifles?

Imagine if this was a guy in a car though, would people be calling for car control?
Something like needing a license to drive one, and insurance to cover any damage it may do?
What a ridiculous thought.
