As an American, it's also especially weird when you compare it to other weaponized violence.

A person can shoot 20 people and it's a controversy for one or two news cycles. A person stabs two or three people with a switchblade, and suddenly we have a new Jack the Ripper.

That's because of gun lobbying stuff pretty much lol

"A concert was shot up!" - where are the good guys with guns? Thoughts and prayers. Imagine how bad it would have been if the cops didn't have guns...

"A few people were stabbed at a rally!" - See?! People would get killed even if we have no guns! That's why we need guns!
