27 dead and 100+ injured in Chinese Knife Attack

BEIJING (AP) — A group of knife-wielding men attacked a train station in southwestern China on Saturday, leaving at least 27 people dead and another 109 injured, the official Xinhua News Agency said, making it one of the deadliest attacks in China in recent years.
Damn.

Wonder if the station was posted no knives allowed? That would have stopped it.

Careful what you jest about. I note that stuff we were joking about 10 years ago is mainstream today.

But, this does show (as if we needed it shown to us) that evil men will use whatever they haveavailable. If knives were unavailable, they'd have used bats. Or rebar. Or 2x4s. Or even their bare hands.

We know it ain't the tool that does the killing, it's who holds the tool.

For all the gun grabbers who may be reading this post... specifically for those not keeping track... this tops the body count of every mass shooting in American history but one (VT-32 souls). However... in that one shooting, 17 people were injured compared to the 100+ in the above story.

Clearly the NRA is the problem here.

Arright; if you take my knives I can at least flake me out a sharp edge with a couple of hunks of flint. If you take my guns I can make me a slingshot. BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO PRY MY FINGERNAIL CLIPPERS FROM MY COLD, DEAD HAND!
