School Knife Attacks not Nearly as Deadly as Gun Attacks

Pittsburgh school stabbings: 20 students injured in mass knife attack spree at US high school Wednesday 09 April 2014 So far nobody has died from this knife attack. Compare that to the carnage caused by an assault rifle at Newtown, - where 26 people were slaughtered, and mutilated, many beyond recognition, by an assault rifle that splattered children's body parts in all directions. Adam Lanza reloaded his assault rifle in coordinated fashion as to not miss a potential child victim. The NRA had a “gun appreciation” day after Newton, where 5 NRA members shot themselves and others swooning over their killing machines at gun shows. After Newtown, gun sales soared. A homicidal maniac kills 26 people in brutal fashion, and the NRA celebrates it, and gun sales soar. Somebody ought to tell these zealots of violence, that Rambo movies are fiction, and when gun enthusiasts emulate Rambo, they slaughter innocents.
