Whenever the political talks turn to guns, we always get a similar line from the NRA talking about how dangerous knives or cars are. So, how about we demonstrate the difference, right here?

In the Sandy Hook shooting, a gun went on a rampage with guns and killed 27 people. In the story above, a guy went on a rampage with a knife and injured 14 people. Not only were fewer people injured, but the people were INJURED, not KILLED. This does make me wonder, suppose Adam Lanza had gone on his rampage with knives instead of guns; what would the end result be? Would anybody really even know about the town of Sandy Hook? Would it have made the news other than a minor/local blip?
