    And again... (Another US Shooting)

    I never said it was possible. But you can reduce odds. And if I was in a locked room with a guy with a knife or a gun I would take my chances with the guy with the knife.

    Yes, but it works out because we have less people here. So per capita we can be just as lethal with a knife and a van.
