I'll be the first:
They should ban knives. They're obviously dangerous.

I don't mean to rag on you johnsonrlp, but it must be a slow news day if this is making it to the national news.
When I was growing up in Portland OR, there were often reports of stabbings at the highschools. My mother was a teacher and she told me how the administration would be constantly confiscating knives and sharpend screwdrivers from hispanic, black, and white gang members. Fights would break out, somone would get stabbed, and one would go to the hospital and the other to the police. It would barely get a 2 min segment on the nightly news.
But I suppose there is more $$ in sensationalizing it.
And I'll bet you a dollar to a doughnut that CNN won't spend much time talking about the problem of hispanic and other gangs in our schools.

Better yet, they should make assault with a deadly weapon illegal.

Incidents of school violence are actually more prevalent than we would like to think. Alot of school violence incidents are actually not reported as such because they are categorized as gang violence. Maybe the article will tell us more...

Yeah, it does happen all the time. But my point was that guns cause violence. And yeah, we will begin to see more Britishish events the more we chase their ways.

I hate to blow anybody's bubble, but a school stabbing is not THR material.
