Chinese teen kills nine with a knife and wounds four.
| A teenager has been arrested after killing nine people and wounding four others in a knife attack in northeast China, state media reported Thursday. |
Proof positive that strict gun control will not stop the crazies. He killed nearly as many people as the Colorado theatre shooter.
He probably watched violent movies and played violent video games.

We need Knife Control.
James, whoever said it would stop the crazies? No, no I'm not getting sucked into this again . . . .
We need Knife Control.
They actually sell these ultra-sharp knives (and associated knife sharpeners) right on info-TV in full view of our children.

Thousands join 'Stop the knives, save lives' march on streets of London
Thousands of people including victims of violent crimes and families of teenagers stabbed to death took to the streets of London today in a bid to stop young people carrying knives.....
..... Sally Knox, whose son Robert was stabbed to death in Sidcup, said: "This is just a massive chance for young people and families who are worried to step up and feel they are doing something.
"I just feel sick every time another stabbing happens knowing that the families have to go through what we have been through. I just don't want to keep reading it in the paper."
Most people consider some rights to be more important than others.
Sixty million Americans own firearms, and almost none of them ever will fire a shot in anger. The premise behind gun control, then, is that millions of law-abiding Americans should have their rights and liberties circumscribed in order to prevent a minuscule fraction—something like three one-hundredths of 1 percent of them—from abusing those rights.
Imagine the uproar for a moment if you applied this to, say, Muslim-Americans. Imagine saying, “We know most of you will never commit a terrorist act, but we also know some of you might do so in the future, so we’re going to ask every one of you to register with your local police department.” Americans, quite rightfully, would erupt in furious outrage at such a proposal. Why, then, do liberals embrace it for gun owners?
Answer: Because—just like conservatives who favor profiling—they consider some rights important and others not.

James, whoever said it would stop the crazies?
To which I would ask - if it WONT stop the crazies, then why do it?
