Re: when was the last time you missed the point of something...

why people own guns, their attitude to gun safety, the availability to guns and off course how violent the country is in itself.
I think the third one is changing because so many people can buy guns over the internet. (Although I'm not sure how that's affected by the U.S.'s extensive monitoring activities.)

is pretty much based in the fact that most people in those countries buy guns for hunting or recreational activities, not for safety.
It's a pretty huge generalization to say that all or even most Americans buy their guns for safety. In certain areas, that might be true. But I can think of huge swathes of the U.S. where guns are bought for hunting/recreation.

it takes longer to kill people with a knife than with a gun
I don't think so. Like you say, it depends on the overall situation but all it takes is one well-placed (or luckily placed) slash to kill someone. At the end of the day, spree in a crowd is still a spree in a crowd.

Yeah, but that lucky slash will only kill one person. The right gun could kill a dozen people in the same amount of time. So it does take longer to kill people with a knife than with a gun, since you have to get within stabbing distance of each person and then land that lucky stab each time, rather than mowing down an entire roomful of people in a few seconds.

You're making very different assumptions than I did. I stand by my statements - the knife-wielder is potentially as dangerous as the gun-toter.

...What assumptions? That a would-be murderer armed with a knife has to get within arm's reach of his victim(s), and can only kill people at the rate at which he can reach and stab them, and that if he were armed with a gun, he instead has the potential to kill as many people as he has bullets in a matter of seconds without taking a single step?

What assumptions were you making, then?

You don't get very many water-tower knifethrowers.

Re: when was the last time you missed the point of something...

[crunchysunrises]

But I'm sure that the ones you get are quite memorable.
