@oralloy,
Quote:Those differences are of little significance. Most murders are one-on-one affairs at close range. Knives are quite lethal under such circumstances.
Those differences are of:
- major significance to mass school shootings. They are at the heart of the choice of weapon for mass murder in schools.
- major signficance to those that ran but got shot
- major signficance to those killed at a distance (Las Vegas killings for example)
-it's also why the saying developed 'dont bring a knife to a gunfight'
To a person killed with a knife - it makes no difference whatsoever - dead is dead.
