I don't see the end result happening in Canada..The winkster is right about one thing, gun control is being able to hit your target...

A knife-wielding grocery store employee attacked eight co-workers Friday, seriously injuring five before a witness pulled a gun and stopped him, police said.

The 21-year-old suspect, whose name was withheld pending charges, was arrested and then taken to a hospital after complaining of chest pains, Memphis Police Sgt. Vince Higgins said. The attack apparently stemmed from a work dispute, police said.

Five victims, one in critical condition, were admitted to the Regional Medical Center, the main trauma hospital for the Memphis area. Three others were less badly hurt and treated at another hospital.

Another victory for gun control! Thank God somebody there was able and willing to stop this thug before he killed several people.

"Less badly hurt"? One should have learned better grammar by fourth grade.

Stop, please or Stop *BAM* before I shoot!. take your pick.

OK, now wait just a pea-pickin minute here.

First, we hear of the above story, coinciding (I think) with a certain nameless someone's sojourn through the area.

Now, there's this.

Coincidence? Inquiring minds want to know. *taps foot*

Police blotter from last night. 1 case shots fired, 3 knifings. Yup. Gun control's really got the criminal element pinned down.

With the first story that may not be far behind.

Chopsticks. Functional and slightly harder to permanently maim someone with.

 

[Winky]

Gee, I dunno...

 

[Slim Pickens]

You could put an eye out!!!

Use enough force and you can certainly stab someone with a chopstick.

 

[Gonz]

My kid has a collection of swords (adults call them sticks). Several are capable of severe damage. Perhpas we ought to outlaw sticks & stones (they could also kill)

 

[Winky]

sticks n stones

and ain't dey outlawed dem werds that can hurt cha?

 

[Gonz]

Yep

 

[highwayman]

How about knife control instead of gun control?

 

[Inkara1]

Knife control means stabbing where you aim.

 

[tonksy]

I said chopsticks were slightly harder to permanently maim someone with...not impossible.
