Police chief and partner stabbed to death.
|
In all seriousness (or at least as much as I'm currently willing to muster), knives are meant for more than just killing (unlike guns). I've used knives as tools my entire life, and never once have I accidentally killed a Parisian.

I'd say the same about guns and parisians...and people in general. When I shoot someone...it's on purpose. I've fired, realistically, tens of thousands of rounds and I've killed less than a handful of living creatures with all of them combined. Guns are meant to put a projectile downrange...what's downrange from you is another issue entirely. I';m a big fan of cans, paper plates, and standard competition targets. The thought of people as targets makes me ill, and most animals make me remorseful before I have anything to be remorseful for. Except squirrels, fuck a tree rat. I chalk that up to direct competition for resources. I'm a winner, they're losers, end of. They can doubt me, but they cant deny my rabbit loads.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Now granted, it can be used as a screwdriver or lever, but its single purpose is to cut. Guns can be used for hunting, skeet or other target play. One can also use a pistol as a hammer. I have had guns all my life and never once did a gun 'accidently' go off.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Hey, don't get me wrong folks, I love firearms. I find knives to be more versatile, that's all I was implying. Apologies to anyone who was offended by my opinion.
No offense, just offering an experience slightly different than your own in subject, but similar in content. I've found guns to be as versatile as you find knives. I'm clumsy, though, worst purchase I ever made was a lettuce knife. Sliced the shit out of my hands, never got it to work on the lettuce. My 22 does work on the lettuce, though. By proxy, ofc.

Cat caught a 22 as well, forgot to mention them. My grandmother told me to shoot one for her once and since then I've kind of figured it must be kosher....granny said so, after all. She looked super-suprised when I did it.......do you think she might have been screwing with me?
(honestly, though, shooting people is distasteful and difficult, and then suddenly it isn't and you aren't who you thought you were...that's what I have against it.)

Possibly. Most times when someone says "kill", it just an expression of frustration. We got comfortable with that way back when, before all the skyjacking and terrorism.

That's in relation to the American shooting. On the other hand there's situations like this where it kind of makes you think the problem isn't totally down to the weapons used. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. |
