    As opposed to the States where a crazy will silently, calmly and relentlessly mow people down with a gun and then eat the barrel or get shot by the cops, here the guy will run around screaming maniacally out of his mind as if on bad LSD stabbing and slashing until exhausted and then just stop and wait for the cops or, in this case, walk down to the police box and turn himself in. Then, depending on several things, they will hang the guy in a couple of years. Sometimes in the "detention centre" next door to my place.

    This loon was apparently fixated on developing some program for euthanising the elderly, or so the paper says..

    You are right. He stated "it doesn't happen in other places with this type of frequency"

    39 victims with a knife, not 19.

    Wrong, he stated " It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency. "

    Wrong. Here is what he said:

    http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/jun/22/barack-obama/barack-obama-correct-mass-killings-dont-happen-oth/

    A statement that Politifact concluded was "mostly false", by the way.

    I notice you wrote this " Never let a good tragedy go to waste" , so no surprise that you posted the OP, Context ans substantiation mean everything.

    Are these at least 18yr + school girls that you're obsessed with "upskirting"?

    Here is what he said:

    Fight fire with fire. You guys would have been Johnny on the spot with "gun control! Derp!" posts if this had been done with a gun. It wasn't, and this story fights back against the gun grabbing narrative, so it was posted. Sorry if that is inconvenient for your narrative and agenda, but that's your problem.

    If he would've had a truck, he would've killed 284.

    Jeesus, er I mean, Mohammad!

    Regressives can't understand that there are bad people everywhere. And the government won't only NOT protect you, they want to make it so you can't protect YOURSELF!

    If the crazy guy managed to kill 19 with a knife ...how many more would he have had the ability to kill with an automatic weapon? That is the question. Also, this mass killing (*)(*)(*)(*) is rare in Japan, if it ever occurs at all.

    Most likely less.Can you guess why?
    Guns make a loud "bang".
    Knives don't.

    Why would that be the question? Name a recent shooting in the US where an "automatic weapon" was used.

    Obama said it doesn't happen in other advanced industrialized countries, yet in Europe, and now in Japan, they are happening. Apparently he was wrong.

    Don't go thinking to much.
    I don't think anyone has ever said attacks are exclusive to guns.
    I don't think anyone has said only the USA sees attacks.

    But only where and what weapon is used the most.

    Also sad this attack happened. Surprised you had no comment on the horror of the event.

    Nitpicking much? Okay lets' have it your way....

    Just imagine how much carnage and death this nut would have caused if he were armed with one of the weapons that Adam Lanza used in the Sandy Hook massacre.

    More palatable for you now OP?

    Obama did.

    http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/jun/22/barack-obama/barack-obama-correct-mass-killings-dont-happen-oth/

    (Mostly false according to Politifact)

    Those pushing a gun grabbing agenda never respond to the "horror of the event". They simply use that event to push their gun grabbing agenda. I'm responding to that. Why am I expected to do differently?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yes, it is much more accurate now that the "automatic weapon" red herring you dispensed has been rejected.

    Liberals should have to prove they know something about guns before they try and ban them.

    Not at all, as I've shown.

    Not necessarily. Knives cut cleanly and the bleeding is intense. Bullets often cauterize. Also, while you must pause to reload and can run out of bullets or jam the gun. A knife never jams, never runs out of blade, and never has to pause. So that narrows it down quite a bit.

    No you didn't.
    I said ' no one said attacks don't happen in other places'. Your link talks about mass attacks and the frequency in which they occur.
    The USA, seems to have more than other places. More frequency.

    Possibly. But collectively, one is 10-15 times more likely to be beaten or stabbed to death than shot to death by someone using an assault type rifle.
