Here is a link to a crazed madman at a school in China that WOUNDED 22 children with a KNIFE:

The difference obviously is the difference in damage caused by the knife versus the gun - 22 wounded versus 27 or so dead.
I've always been a 2nd Amendment supporter. But I think it is time we rethink things.
I just cannot make any excuses for this.
I can live with eliminating automatics for personal protection. Let everyone get a 6 shot revolver. And limit the caliber to a .32, maybe a .38.
For hunting all you get is a twin barrel shot gun or a bolt action rifle that is reloaded after every shot. No more big magazines on rifles.
I know I'll get ripped for this, but there are TOO many psychopaths out there who are willing to commit a heinous crime in order to draw attention to themselves.
And, yeah, I know that a gunman who cannot get his hands on an automatic with 2 12-round clips can still carry four 6-shot revolvers to get the same effect, but it is HARDER and you have more time to react and overcome him or run away from him.
