364. I think it's a total

cop out to call anyone who does horrible things 'bat shit insane'. It's a dismissal of a larger problem. No one wants to think they are capable of doing what this guy did. Everyone has their breaking point. I think guns make it easier to act out when you hit that breaking point. As homicide investigators know, stabbing someone requires a slightly higher level of 'evil' (if you will) or emotion than does grabbing a gun and shooting. That's because it's much easier to aim and pull the trigger than it is to catch someone and stab them fatally. If I had to pick which scenario I'd prefer - someone pointing a gun at me or someone coming after me with a knife, the knife would win every time. With a gun, if someone does eventually snap out of it, it's nearly always too late. Better chance with a knife.
