At Least 14 stabbed on College Campus in Texas

[Kiarax]

I want to personally thank this guy for pointing out that one does not need to have a gun to go on a rampage, maybe the anti-gun lobbyists will stfu now.

Obviously woulda been 20 deaths if he had a gun.

It's pretty easy to die from a knife attack but there are very few spots that cause quick death. People see movies where the guy slits the dudes throat and he sprays blood everywhere from arterial spray and dies. Most people who try this end up cutting the windpipe instead which is a much slower and more painful death and don't realize the carotid is more towards the back of the neck rather than right on the side under the chin. Some of the reports of this guys stabbing spree had him stabbing people in the face (the cheek on a few people) and mostly superficial wounds to the arms and hands. Though you can die from a cut to the radial or median arteries along the arm, this guy was probably in full-psycho mode and wasn't really aiming for anything.

Takes an exceptional level of bat-shit insane to stab people. Shits up close and personal.

so, hard to kill people with a knife without proper aim/length

[Nephlite]

Well you only really need like 1/2 an inch. It's all dependent on aim. This guy had a box-cutter and that first triangle is usually enough to get a good nick to an artery.

Posted this before but this is where it all comes from. In hand-to-hand combat, 9 times out of 10 you're not going to have a weapon when you're attacked and 10 out of 10 spontaneous knife encounters you're fucked from first snick. Just gotta be faster than the other guy and rely on your training to save yourself. All that training is based off this chart and shows where to protect yourself.

When the knife death toll reaches the total deaths from gun violence, we can start this convo up anew.

[Niiro]

I wanna say (and certainly hope) that post was sarcasm...

[RKenshin]

I'm confused as to how the interwebs seems to think that this stands best as evidence against the gun control arguments, or am I missing something?

[Aksannyi]

Mostly sarcasm mode. I am pro-gun but I know some will try to spin this in some retarded way. Posted the same on Facebook but have yet to get any bites.

I'm disappointed no one pointed out (see, I did it again) the intended pun I used with "get the point."

Pretty sure Church doesn't need lessons in knife usage boss.

[Churchill]

you need a 1/2" if you're aiming precise strikes against a dumb opponent, and even then the most likely spots don't result in death if they can apply pressure to the wound. slashing strikes (most likely) are not going to kill you, and stab wounds (most likely in the stomach) are not going to kill you either. ive used a knife a total of 3 times and 2 of them were to cut my safety line because they are just not that reliable when someone is fighting back (and my knife is actually designed to kill people)

[quannum]

oblig.

People truly are losing their minds.

[Plow]

for people that actually give a shit about the news, it was apparently an xacto knife and at least a couple people were stabbed in the neck

Correct me if I'm wrong.

And lived?

Oh man do we need guns to protect ourselves from these knife-wielding maniacs!
