Stabbings went sky high soon after, it demonstrates what could happen again but this time with guns. You have to ask yourself, are we repeating the past and it's mistakes?
Or even better...

Surely you don't presume all of these occurred without the use of extremely deadly force?
Rebellions and uprising is a different topic.
Quote:Only... everyone can have a knife. They are remarkably easy to conceal. Sword too if you are doing it right Handguns are much harder to obtain.Aye, it's so very easy to pick up a knife and go use it on someone. You know how easy it would be for me to buy a deadly crossbow online, go to the town centre with it, get onto a roof top and shoot people dead with it. I could go wait in the trees until someone walks by. Just aim and fire. Too easy.
Not hard at all. Despite the easiness of it, no one has. Not to my knowledge anyway. I think it's through education, prevention, community minded people and improved security that we can stop violent and potentially armed criminals. Not arming up the general public.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
