Should Obama call for "Knife" or "Car" control?

[righteousdude2]

In the past two weeks, two separate colleges experienced attacks on students and others either at the college campus or at a college activity. Where are the calls to ban "cars" or "knives?" Would you say that guns, as primary weapons of choice in mass killings and one on one murders, are over exaggerated? Think about this! Even if guns were taken off the streets, there would be many other ways to kill groups of people.

Once again, it isn't the weapon that is used to murder someone with that is at fault; but rather the person who chose to harm others and NOT the weapon used to cause others harm or death!

KNIFE attack - http://www.aol.com/article/2015/11/04/students-stabbed-at-uc-merced-campus-suspect-killed/21258933/?icid=maing-grid7|htmlws-main-bb|dl2|sec1_lnk3&pLid=-48341451

Univ. of Oklahoma accident was on purpose - http://espn.go.com/college-football...lahoma-state-homecoming-parade-crash-killed-4

Again, where is the outrage? Where are all the "Gun control" pundits and hawks? Why is Obama so strangely quiet?

How about health practitioners?

In a study by John T James a NASA toxicologist:

By combining the findings and extrapolating across 34 million hospitalizations in 2007, James concluded that preventable errors contribute to the deaths of 210,000 hospital patients annually.

Guns simplify the ability to kill someone. It's fairly easy to shoot someone with a handgun from 10-15 feet away. With a rifle you can be very far away. You can even do it without the person knowing you are attempting to kill them. Not so with knives or cars.

I hope I've answered your question and I sincerely hope I don't see you asking it again. Bookmark this post, OK?

No rebuttal. Typical. And I see you called me Earth Wind and Fire?
