1 suspect arrested after stabbing attack Lone Star College campus injures 14, some critical.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looks like we need an assault knife ban too.
Maybe a tax on steak knives would make us safer?
No knives that attach to bayonet lugs?
Ban knives longer than 6 inches?
Stop knife importation?
Maybe a ban on serrated knives could have lessened the carnage?
Definitely we need all schools to be declared knife free zones, right?

If we can save just one life it's worth it.

CCW could have prevented this....

I don't want to come off as cold and uncaring for the victims but...thank God it wasn't a gun this time. ;)

It's important for folks to understand that guns aren't the problem.
Criminals are.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm really hoping we don't get to the stage where "pointy sticks" are under scrutiny.

Some say it was a box cutter or xacto. Others said it was a hunting knife.
Ask a Democrat and it was an "Assault cutter..."

Sad case as the young man had "issues" was mostly deaf and was known to carry a "sock puppet" around campus. They say he had problems "adjusting to college life".
Wishing the best with prayers for all involved.

The news said an Xacto knife. That would be hard to attack a bunch of people with... unless he clipped an artery not much damage. I think that I would feel "threatened" if someone came at me with a sharp object like that! DRT!

dudes, he is the poster child for our cause. I hope La Pierre uses this to prove our point since we have had SH and Colorado rammed down our throats for so long. I dont care if this sounds insensitive. The perp is a nut job. Not using the sheet out of this would be the bigger insensitivity since more bad things would happen sans ccw'ss and or guns.

Shows what you know, Wyntrout. You should have seen the damage that I inflicted to my thumb with an Exacto knife when I was just a young lad of 12. The wound required 13 stitches and caused my mother to faint. :)

wow that is a lot of sutures.

Never required stitches from my e-xacto cuts but some were real bleeders! Those darn things are sharp!

I have a set of carving knives and chisels that came with a box of band-aids. Those bstrds were scary sharp just out of the box and after honing, just about cut a hair into when dropped on the blade.

You can do a whole bunch of damage with any sharp instrument be it e-xacto or other.

[knkali]

X-actos are essentially scalpels and while very sharp, they dull very quickly too due to the fine edge they have. However, even a dull one will cut you if slashed at because they are so thin overall. Yep, they should be banned.

How would you like to be the second person he cut if the first person that he cut was HIV positive? Brings a new perspective to the issue of minor cuts, doesn't it?

[muggsy]

wow that is a lot of sutures.

Cut from tip to thumb pad and laid wide open.

Tried to get on a commercial flight in the US lately?

nope... not since the late 90's, but have plans (kinda against my will) for a trip to Alaska this summer. Now I'm wondering if the proposed policy of allowing 2-1/2" pocket knives will be rescinded due to another knee jerk reaction over this current idiocy.

edit to add.... when I refer to "pointy sticks", I'm not referring to blades. I mean real, natural, cut off the tree sticks like you sharpen on a rough rock.

The sad/funny thing about this "student" came to light today. Seems the (one would assume Liberal) staff relized the "poor guy" was having trouble adjusting to student life. So the placed him in their "program" to "help him adjust" and after a few weeks, declaired success! Next the school staff made him the subject of a "look-how-helpful-and-cool-we-is media story..." to show all of us just how good they help those that don't fit in.
Now this.
I guess (at least in the case of this staff) some folks have leared the hardway that just having a "program" and stuffing a nut-job into it is not really doing anything useful.

You should have seen the kid he was circumcising! :eek:


:puke:

These sad, phsycos exist everywhere; the answer lies in Mental Health, not Gun, Control!
