[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 662961, member: 1550"] If knives are so dangerous, why do you prefer a gun? Anyone want to take a stab at that? Why not just carry a knife with you and keep a butcher knife out by your bed at night? What's the difference? You are making it seem like there is no difference. Many people who are not really "bad guys" kill people while drinking or domestically or under high pressure or during mental illness...or kill themselves if they are sick. Again, if I had a "bad guy" after me, my weapon of choice, between a gun and a knife, would be a knife. There is a reason no other countries residents are begging for every civilian to have the option of owning guns and even concealing them. And we can do knife control too. I have no problem with that. If the government wants to overtake us, that would require the military to be agreeable and if they are, the few armed and capable (capable being the important word here) won't be able to stop it. I'm inclined to think this won't happen, but, hey, that's me. I do not think those who are pro-gun are horrible people. I simply think the knife argument is silly and a diversion because everything knows that guns are the best and fastest way to kill many people at one time. I'm fine with guns for sport, like hunting for food or target shooting, just not at people. [/QUOTE]
