I'm sorry, but which kind of knife can kill other people from across a room? Unless it's in the hand of a professional, the answer is "hardly any knife".That's not necessarily true and very dependent on the kinfe/gun in question.
Again, beside the point. A knife can hardly ever be used to kill people from a distance. Any murderer who wants to kill with a knife must come into physical contact with his would-be victim. As for the "small hole", there are more than enough scenarios where the hole is not at all small... and you're also forgetting about the kinetic energy of a bullet travelling at several times the speed of sound.The main reason that is the case is because bullets are pretty small so unless you hit a major artery/vein or a vital organ like the heart or head you are essentially making a small hole* that you could bleed out of.
How on earth can a gun not hit a target many times over? Have I missed the invention of semi-automatic kitchen knives that can turn a man's head into a colander in ten seconds?A knife generally makes a much bigger hole and being a short range weapon can be used for a lot more "hits on target" than a gun.
They are as deadly as wars, mass shootings, gun rampages and so on would have me believe. As for 6/7: source, please, and I'd like to see one for knives, too. I have so far survived all injuries inflicted on me by kitchen knives, but that doesn't make it a valid statistic.P.S. your chances of survival if shot are 6/7, guns are not quite as deadly as movies (and some people) would have you believe.
No, a gun is also a tool.
Excluding blanks that you may have fired: when was the last time either of you used a gun for anything but delivering potentially lethal bullets to a target?So many don't seem to understand this. An object is a weapon when it is used as such, not until.
This is so incredible. Instead of agreeing to a reasonable approach to gun control (tracking them and banning the most dangerous one), people actually believe this *** about guns not being dangerous.
