stabbing is a far less efficient way of harming people.

I've certainly better odds of escaping a stabbing than a gunshot. Then again, I run pretty well.

We don't need to ban guns.
We need to increase the price of bullets to $50 each.

Not sure if you read the article, I don't see how a knife could have done the same thing. He wasn't even holding the gun in his hand.

Are you denying that a knife could have just as easily fallen out, landed in one victim, then fell out and landed in the second? This continued fallacy that guns are somehow more dangerous than knives is, is ... Unfair to my hobby!

Don't forget the dangers of the poin-ted stick and the comfy chair.
Guns don't kill, people do.

No?
I think we can all agree that guns have NO place in schools.

Except during deer season.

It is very unlikely that a gun would go off just being dropped, especially when it is in a backpack. What was it? A revolver with the hammer cocked?

The real question should be why was this gun not locked up in a safe with a trigger lock and the ammo locked up in another location? The owner of that firearm has a lot of explaining to do.
