Mass murder without guns

What’s going on? In the land of Piers Morgan, strict gun control and kumbaya, people are still being killed. All over Europe mass murders are attempted, and succeeding, not by using guns but rather by the use of explosives, cars and knives. In jolly old England they blew up a couple of buses, cut a guy’s head off in the street and used a car and knife to kill four and injure over 40.

But how can this be? Gun control activists assure us that with fewer guns mass murders would go away. Remember, to the gun control crowd, it’s the firearm that kills, not the person pulling the trigger. I wonder what that cop who died thought as the murderer approached him with two knives.

Most English cops are unarmed, but perhaps in that instant he might have wished to be carrying. As a former cop being in the same situation, I’m glad I had a pistol. As horrible as ISIS is, they are not totally stupid. They told their followers to use cars and knives. They listened, in Germany and France. Gun control worked. What is now needed is car and knife control. Yup, feel safer already.
