Yeah, he seemed pretty determined to do some damage. I wonder what his score would have been with a pair of assault rifles and 1800 rounds.

Takuma murdered eight and seriously injured 15 others with a kitchen knife in the space of several minutes.

 

I wonder what his 'score' would have been if he'd been left to wreck havoc in the school for as long as Ramos was?

Here's the thing... I imagine it is significantly easier, and possibly slightly-less certain to result in your own death, to try and overpower an attacker armed with a knife, than it would be if he were armed with an assault rifle, even if the only defensive weapon you have available is, say, one of those plastic chairs with the metal legs that every single classroom across the world has. I'm not saying I'd be particularly eager to jump in, but I think there'd be more spring in my step if I was in a knife-chair fight and not a gun-chair fight.

 

The fact that he was overpowered by a number of staff members relatively quickly  before it turned into an hour-long execution spree, suggests that it is easier to stop nutcases from murdering children when they only have knives, and not assault rifles.

 

I dunno, maybe I'm wrong.

You certainly are wrong when it comes to using the term Assault Rifle. You do realise the AR-15 is not an Assault Rifle right? And that obtaining an Assault Riffle in the US is already heavily restricted. I can’t even think of a mass shooting in the US that involved an Assault Rifle.

You're right, it is time to hide behind semantics. 

 

I bet the Japanese fella didn't even technically have a chef's knife. It was probably a santuko or a deba.

It’s not semantics. It’s deliberate smoke and mirrors use to force through the ban on standard Riffles. Assault Riffles are already far more restricted than the level the Dems claim that they wish to see them restricted to. But using the term Assault Riffle sounds a lot more scary than simply calling them what they actually are, simply Riffles.

The young fella at Uvalde showed up with a pair of rifles and 1800 rounds. He must have thought it was a bit heavy though, and either dropped or lost 900 of them before going inside. 

Still, at least he didn't have a third rifle too, or someone could have gotten seriously hurt!

🤷‍♂️ Poor

How was the Uvalde gunman stopped ?? 
A privately owned firearm I think you will find. If the police had maybe shown a bit more balls things might have been different. As for tackling knife wielding lunatics “ Lee Rigby !! People run rather than fight 99% of the time”

I bet it's not real smoke and mirrors though, probably just steam and a really well-polished sheet of stainless steel.

Yeh, sounds about right that you’re making light of such a subject to deflect away from you falling into the MSM trap of labelling AR’s Assault Riffles.

issue is 99% of jockland is worthless so it matters not who wanders all over it. England on other hand farmers invest a lot of money into and i dont blame them not wanting any tom dick and harry wandering over it.

Some of our land is as valuable and invested in as land in England. We have a few acres and the right to roam isn’t an issue at all. People wanting to walk don’t generally leave rubbish around. It’s the pricks in cars that discard their junk on the roadside that are the ones needing a good kicking.
