Have you ever talked with a European friend and heard something like this: You need gun control to stop all the shootings.
Another day and another stabbing over there. This is the story:
Five people were injured, two seriously, after a stabbing incident in Amsterdam's city center on Thursday.
Witnesses said the suspect stabbed a number of people at random on Sint Nicolaasstraat, near Dam Square.
"Among the victims are a 67-year-old woman and a 69-year-old man, both American nationals; a 26-year-old man from Poland; a 73-year-old woman from Belgium; and a 19-year-old woman from Amsterdam," Dutch police said.
The suspect was detained, police added, describing him as young man with short blonde hair.
Short blond hair? At least they told us what he looks like.
Here is something I learned from a friend in Spain. Check out these numbers from Europe:
Have we stopped believing what we see? It usually leads to a loss of sense of danger.
Two women stabbed in Vasteras, Sweden.
Four stabbed at the train station in Lyon.
Vienna's "Black Friday":
four women stabbed by an Afghan.
A man armed with two knives kills a person on the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam. He shouted "Allahu akbar."
Then a stabbing in Charlottenburg, a district of Berlin.
Another man armed with a knife tries to kill Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo in Brussels.
They were walking under the Eiffel Tower when a man stabbed them while shouting -- guess what -- "Allahu akbar." He was stabbed to death; she miraculously survived. The stabber then fled across the Seine and struck an English tourist with a hammer.

We don't have a gun problem; we have a behavior problem.
I N.J. A pocket knife with a 3 inch blade is legal, anything over that is considered a concealed weapon. With a sharp 3 inch knife, you could do a lot of damage, even kill. I’ve seen deer dressed with a 3 inch blade. Razor sharp of course.
True… it’s been getting better here and there the last few years. But it’s a crazy quilt of nonsense laws of which half are based on that movie, West Side Story.

Never pick a fight with an on old guy, he will kill you.
Never bring a knife to a gun fight.
I know places where the carry rules are understood. And juries understand self defense.
Yep, I agree.
I was trying to be facetious in my post.
In IL, the blade is limited to 4 inches and you can’t carry a, “butterfly knife” unless you have a FOID card.
Fricking convoluted.
It how will they spread the butter?
Maybe the same way Zelenskyy played the piano.
