And once again people calling for NRA and gun ban!
Where is the call for a "knife ban"?
After promising a "day of retribution" on YouTube, a heavily armed, mentally disturbed 22-year-old went on a killing spree in a California college town, authorities said.

When will the Daily Beast headline story and other MSM be instead of "How the NRA Enables Massacres" "How the Knife industry enables Massacres"
Despite news media impressions to the contrary, there are not many murders in the United States that are committed with rifles or shotguns. Combined, it is under 1,000 per year---more people are murdered with knives. FBI data shows that most murders are done with handguns. Random killings are very rare, most are between people who know each or rival gang members. In other words, stay out of areas, such as parts of Rahamland, and your chance of being killed by a stranger is very, very slim. Further data to contemplate: In 32% of the murders in 2010, no firearm was used.
Killed by
Knives or cutting instruments 1,704
Blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.) 540
Personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc) 745
poison,strangling,other weapons 1,232
4,221 people killed by knives, blunt objects hands,fists,feet,etc.
