Were there even guns? I don't partake in gun debates, but your link merely said they were "armed."

"One witness said on social media that she saw a group of men dressed in black with two long knives chasing people, according to Xinhua."

Oh. That's pretty homicidal. Sad. ​

reading other reports that the police shot some of the suspects. Guns > Knives

If guns then 130+ killed

If guns then 130+ killed

If no crazy, then zero killed.

 

[mr roboto]

If guns then 130+ killed

If no crazy, then zero killed.

Which of those two variables are easier to control?

If guns then 130+ killed

You mean this is going there anyway?

Oh, my.

The first one. How do you propose we control all the guns and all the knives?

Oh, my.

Yeah what the hell why not

China Knife Attack Kills Dozens: Report

Reuters | by Ben Blanchard

Posted: 03/01/2014 12:27 pm EST

BEIJING, March 2 (Reuters) - At least 27 people have been killed in a "violent terror attack" at a train station in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming by a group of unidentified people brandishing knives, state media said on Sunday.



Another 162 were injured, the official Xinhua news agency added. It said the attack had taken place late on Saturday evening.



State television said on its official microblog that the incident had been deemed a "violent terror attack".



Xinhua, citing one of its reporters on the scene, said that several suspects had been detained.



Kunming resident Yang Haifei told Xinhua that he was buying a ticket when he saw a group of people, mostly wearing black, rush into the station and start attacking bystanders.



"I saw a person come straight at me with a long knife and I ran away with everyone," he said. Those who were slower were caught by the attackers. "They just fell on the ground."



Graphic pictures on the Twitter-like microblogging service Sina Weibo showed bodies covered in blood lying on the ground at the station.



There was no immediate word on who was responsible.



State television's microblog said domestic security chief Meng Jianzhu was on his way to the scene.



Weibo users took to the service to describe details of what happened, though many of those posts were quickly deleted by government censors, especially those that described the attackers, two of whom were identified by some as women.

I do have to admit, it's difficult to dislike anyone with a Nipsey Russell avatar.

Neither?

Hypothetical - you make all knives and guns illegal. You have now empowered only the bad guys and the government with all the innocents in the middle. Defenseless.

Until you do it right.

 

[shuke]

first I've heard of this.

Yeah, because he's reporting news instead of trolling.

Really? cause I changed my thread title 30 minutes before he posted this. Either way, didn't realize you were the troll police. But, I guess it takes on to know one.

You're something else.

I heard it was a group of 10 attackers and at least two of them were women.

Fun little thread we've got here.

Can we get back to the topic at hand, please?

If only China had a ban on knives this never would have happened. At the very least, they should ban "assault" style knives and maybe have everyone register their knives with the government. And have a 7-day waiting period while a background check is done.

How am I doing so far?

You don't understand why Johnnycakes always praises his wife. Every Chinese household is armed with deadly weapons.

I'll tell you this much, when they catch the ones that got away, they will put them to death quickly. They won't be ####es in their sentences.

This is what happens when only the bad guys have knives.
