I still believe most people would rather face a psycho with a knife than a psycho with a firearm.
And if those kids at that Texas community college in any way equate what happened to them to the slaughter that occurred in Connecticut, they really need to get some perspective.
It's just way easier to inflict fatal injuries to large numbers of people, or even one victim, with a firearm than it is with a knife.
Your chances of surviving a single stab wound are several degrees greater than they are from a single gunshot wound.
I bet being deaf made it really difficult for this kid to even buy a gun, if that was his weapon of choice. Thank God.
