This is terrible, of course, but imagine what he would have done with a gun?

But he didn't, so that's not really relevant, is it?  This seems pretty typical of the liberals of the forum.  Whenever a mass shooting occurs, you guys talk about how if we had much tighter gun control, stuff like this wouldn't happen, but when it's a non-gun incident, you still manage to turn the subject to guns.

The fact is, if violent people want to commit violent acts, they will, with or without access to a gun.

Perhaps if he had a gun, he would've been noticed and stopped sooner, and no violence would've occurred.  We don't know that, just like you don't know that it would've been worse had he had a gun.

If he had a gun, most of those people wouldn't have survived. Of course we don't know the outcome yet, but at the end of the day my guess is most of these people will survive. And that is because this kid used a knife, not a gun.

That assumes he could actually hit somebody with a gun.  And like I said, there's the possibility that had he tried to sneak a gun in, he would've been noticed more easily than with the knife.

Yeah, in general a gun is going to be more dangerous than a knife, but that doesn't mean that the people in this thread need to or should turn this thread into an anti-gun crusade.

I live half an hour away from there.  Krazen, NO ONE would have wanted that.
Wait, what? You wouldn't have wanted someone with a gun to have shot this guy before he did this?

Right, I'm sure that's the aspect of Krazen's post that he was responding to, rather than the aspect of having guns in schools.
