Aiming requires practice and more coordination than hitting someone with an object.
Shoot a running person who might bob and weave v touching a running person with a stabbing/slicing motion. Knife trajectories are correctable.

Sorry, you're way wrong.

Actually he is right statistically more people survive knife wounds than gun shots. Using a knife effectively also takes skill. Not everyone is a born knife fighter. But knife control is as stupid as gun control.

If knives were equal to firearms we could be arming our police and soliders with just knives and no guns.

A buddy of mine is working on a 7 month project for .gov and he is in England. He is a shooter and can't wait to get back to the states! I would hope that we could learn from England's laws, but I am afraid many won't.

Where are the school massacres.....
Right here....................
Pupils die in Japan knife massacre


Anguished parents have been arriving at the school


A knifeman has killed at least eight pupils in a rampage at their school in western Japan.
Officials say more than 20 other pupils were hurt, along with several teachers. Some are seriously ill in hospital.

"He [the attacker] came straight to us and stabbed the teacher. He [the teacher] did not say anything and collapsed

Schoolgirl witness

There has been no word on a possible motive for the attack at an elementary school in Ikeda, a suburb of Osaka, about 500 km (310 miles) west of Tokyo.
Police say they have detained a man. Reports say he was mentally disturbed.
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said he was shocked at the "terrible incident" - one of several knife attacks in Japan recently.
Rampage
Police officials said the stabbings occurred shortly after classes began at the school, which caters for children up to the age of 12.
Fire department official Tetsuo Higashimoto said two of the children were killed immediately. The others died later in hospital. It is believed the children were aged six or seven.
Media reports said the 37-year-old attacker climbed into a classroom, slashing children and teachers before moving on to another.
One schoolgirl described the attack on television.
"He [the attacker] came straight to us and stabbed the teacher. He [the teacher] did not say anything and collapsed," she said.
Police said he used a knife with a 15cm (six inch) blade. Two teachers wrestled him down before police arrived to arrest the attacker, who was also injured and taken to a local hospital.

Children fled from the school after the attack

The victims have been taken to local hospitals. At least one boy and one teacher were undergoing emergency surgery, and were said to be critically ill.
Anxious parents have been arriving at the school. The uninjured pupils have been led to safety on the school's playing fields.
'Disturbed'
The attacker had reportedly been high on medication. Public broadcaster NHK and other media said he had taken a large dose of tranquillisers and appeared incoherent when questioned by the police.

Japan stabbings

December 2000: family of four found stabbed in Tokyo August 2000: 15 year-old stabs to death neighbours in Notsu, south-west Japan March 2000: 17 year-old hijacks a bus in north-west Japan February 2000: Fatal stabbing at Fukuoka junior high school, south-west Japan December 1999: 7 year-old fatally stabbed in Kyoto

Reports said he had been arrested in March 1999, accused of allegedly putting tranquillisers into the tea of some teachers at a school where he used to work.
He was not prosecuted, apparently because he suffered from psychological problems, the Associated Press news agency quoted a police official as saying.
Murder charges are now being prepared against him.
The attack on a school is believed to be unprecedented in Japan.
But the BBC's Charles Scanlon says there has been growing concern in Japan at a series of extremely violent and apparently motiveless crimes. Many of the most highly publicised cases have been committed by youths in their late teens.
