Too much guns. Who would dare to defend themselves if they up against killing machine?

If that is a knife, still a chance to defend. But guns?

If people still comparing knife and guns... Let see which statistics is the highest.

@iamelijah more people survive gsw than stabbings.

iamelijah · 26-30, M

@MasterLee Are you sure? It depends on the wound and the person's survival rate. Plus, how frequent stabbing cases ever recorded? Even highest at certain country..

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@iamelijah yes I am completely sure.

However, if you get run over with an automobile the survival rate is much less.

Malpractice in surgery is a whole other world of statistics.

Axes tend to be bad as well.

Disease, cancer, heart attacks, wow.

There are lies and there are lies but no one can lie better than with statistics.

@MasterLee Okay then.
