So goes the ‘ban guns’ theory to stop violence at schools.

Was this a multi-knife situation? Was it a machete? Did he buy this from a knife dealer or from some street dealer?

FWIW, Murrysville is one of the nicer 'burbs of Pittsburgh.

Still unclear as to the motives of the perp or any other description thereof. Might be a nutcase. Might be a ROPer.

There is now a little updated information from our local fishwrap. We now know the suspect was male and is now in custody.

In Britan, after the gun ban, they started to go after knives.

Most of my pocket knives are treated as deadly weapons and banned in the UK.

Sounds like a great excuse to once again roll out the 'Ban Assault Weapons' parade.

Everyone knows that knives are just a 'gateway' weapon, after all...

I’m waiting for the Knife Control crowd to demand registering all knives.

Spyderco makes their UK Penknife in response to, and to be in compliance with, GB's laws, as well as to be in compliance with similar laws in other European countries.

That doesn't stop their cops from confiscating it or make it easy for people to go through the hassles of trying to get it back once confiscated.

GB is our canary in the coal mine. Oh, how the once mighty have fallen, like dominoes, one by one.

Thank you, God and our FFs, for the second amendment and thank God for those who fight to keep it intact.

Where the MAIK and mom against knives this morning. And where’s fauxbama? Oh, I forgot he’s at Ft. Hood probably calling for background checks. Oh, I forgot again. They did a background check on ivan. Guess we better take the guns out of the hands of normal everyday law abiding citizens. Just in case ya know.

I wonder what kind of knife was it?
My daughter, who doesn’t want to own a gun, has a 2 foot long 3-1/2 pound knife for home defense of the type Gurkas use.

probably too soon, especially considering it was kids who were stabbed, and are in surgery.

No one died in this attack, and no one is expected to die, which does lend support to the gun control side. If the attacker had a gun, the injuries would have been worse.

At least American knife attackers seem to lack the skill seen in China, where Uighur jihadis kill travellers in train stations and madmen kill kindergartners by the score.
