No, it's harder. But not by a whole lot

People don't hear knife stabs.

True

People don't fear knives like they do guns.

You see a gun pointed in your direction and most freeze and think.

Dumb ones just get shot dead.

Its true that guns are more obvious as threats, so people are more likely to react in a way to protect themselves

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

However, you can stand in a crowded room and kill 20-30 people in 20 seconds if you're a good shot

You can't kill people as quickly or easily with a knife

You have to be closer to them

A rabid knifeman can end up killing that many too before they know it.

but that's not really the point

because if they are rabid, the only way to stop it is by putting them down

If you're a good shot you can do the same thing from hundreds of feet away with a gun

*and you do that by arming people*

I'm not saying that the answer is creating gun free zones. Its not and they have the opposite effect

hundreds of feet? 30-90 meters?

that takes skill

I'm just saying they're more dangerous

I said if someone's skilled

the kind of people that are capable usually don't have reasons to do it

For the most part, yes

you might get the occasional PTSD dude with no support and a failing network

but every single fucking suicidal shooter is someone who isn't capable, who's a fuckup and who has been left by the wayside to become bitter

99+% of people who train like that aren't interested in killing people randomly

In developed countries anyway

decent people in decent countries with decent cultures being trained decently act decent, whoda thunk it?

the gun problems in the US are not really gun problems

they are social problems

cultural problems

Its mostly mental health issues

and yeah, psychological problems

And yeah cultural

In places like Chicago, Detroit, etc

Being raised in a violent shit hole makes people more violent

Chiraq and Detrostan?

yea

That's more of a cultural problem and a crime problem in one.

13% of the pop in a certain group doing 50% of violent crime

Really just cultural and socio-economic
