It’s obviously way past time to ban knives.

Yes, it looks like he had something against older people too.

A knife is merely a tool. Japan has a history of nutters using knives to attacks masses of people.

If he didn’t have access to the knife, he couldn’t have stabbed all those people. Japan needs knife control./s
