Two people, actually. Get your eyes checked.

I just think this scene would kind of suck to see. I mean, shooting people is one thing, but slashing them can be decidedly more messy. Can't be very fun.

Headlines all say three. I think they are including him in the deathtoll.

Here is an artical with a picture.. http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/West/06/30/supermarket.killings.ap/index.html

He looks normal enough.

Yeah, they are, but he had nothing to do with his own death, so he technically didn't kill three.

Considering what the death toll would likely have been if he had used a gun, I think the sword was a much better (for everyone else) choice.

NRA has nothing to do with it. It's simple physics that makes it easier to outrun a psycho with a sword than it is to outrun a bullet.

Gun or sword, the real problem was with the guy using it. Swords are just easier to get away from, is all.

That doesn't mean that they're more deadly, though.

How many people drown every year? I bet water's pretty deadly too, if you want to look at just the body count. But, that would be stupid.

Though I must admit, I would love to see someone try to get a statewide ban on water, because it's a deadly menace.

Yeah, the sad thing is, someone WILL probably call for a ban on swords. And ya know what? It'll probably pass. Same thing wouldn't EVEN happen if he'd used a gun.

What's next? We ban steak knives because someone uses one in a murder? How about frying pans? Or Baseball bats?


[Edit: And Az, a gun is a tool who's SOLE PURPOSE is to kill. A car's is not. Keep that in mind.]

Eh, well, swords have some uses outside of killing. Mostly decorative, and then the occasional sport.

Though I think the sad kinda thing was that the guy was also a volunteer firefighter and an EMT. I mean, this guy wasn't exactly a depraved lunatic who hid in his home and wore women's clothing really.
