Since gun laws are so strict

@HootyTheNightOwl its not so much the weapon that matters. Its the mind set of the person. If you take everyones guns, stabbings will increase. If you take away knives we would beat eachother with rocks and sticks. Its not the weapon that makes violence. Its the person wielding it.

@GuyWithOpinions The part that you might be missing is that many of these stabbings are done by literal children to other children.

@HootyTheNightOwl well being born in a broken home or bullied your whole life can have an impact on people. Being a child doesnt change the fact we are human living in a hostile environment.

@HootyTheNightOwl i can actually relate to that pretty closely... i have scars myself. But not everyone has the exact same situation or level of self control. Iv known victims of rape and other abuse that have gone insane by dwelling on what happened to them for years causing them to be violent by nature because of how they learned to view the world at a young age. Human society can be a barbaric place to be. Some have it better than others.

@GuyWithOpinions I should hope not... no child should ever have to face what I did... let alone the 30 other known survivors of child on child sex abuse at school that I managed to save while sitting my exams.

Why did I do it??? They were set to make our rapist a prefect the year after I left...

But, maybe you're right, what I went through probably isn't as bad as some teenaged gang banger today.

@HootyTheNightOwl its not a competition and i dont mean to discredit anyones hardships. I just mean everyone is effected in their own way and handles it as such.
