Chinese govt. is calling it an act of terror.

 

I bet they wish someone had a pistol besides the police.

"The motive behind the attack was not immediately clear, but China has seen a number of mass stabbings and other attacks carried out by people bearing grudges against society."

If that were here there would be talk of a knife ban. People hell bent on causing harm and perpetuating violence will always find a way regardless of laws.

Now how could they possibly kill that many people without guns...  I hope the anti's read this and just maybee some of them might rethink.  Even if we only save one anti!

"Get a life, bin that knife!"...that's what they say in Britain.

I venture when they report "knives" the actual culprit is a" cleaver".A very popular weapon in the Tong wars both in HK,China,San Francisco and even NYC's China town.The heavy and sharp carbon steel blade is still the weapon of choice in these types of attacks in Asia and can be lethal in the right hands.

The should limit the number of rounds the knives hold, this way when the bad guys are reloading the good guys can charge them and wrestle the knife away from them.

it must be the pistol grip knives

How does someone kill 27 people with a knife? 1-2, sure. But what are the other 25 people doing in the meantime?

It was a group of attackers. 

Assault knife

Sheltering in place...

Nope, they are saying if it was with guns 100 people would have died. So it is good there is a gun ban.

What mayhem.

 

Apparently the cops shot 5 of the 10 attackers dead.

Not very hard to predict what the punishment will be when they catch the rest.

Idiotic thinking though. The problem is not guns it is a problem with society . Hatred and human nature. People have been killing each other from the beginning of time. They need to realize they are going after the wrong people. But they won't realize it. They will continue to think in a way that is based on uncommon sense.

Completely agree.

...a quick bullet to the back of the head and a sudden availability of tranplantible organs for China's elite and politically connected?

Sometimes the elites request corneas. In those cases it's a bullet to the chest. The real question: do the elites get CCWs?

...just a matter of time in my opinion but hopefully I'll be either deceased or retired to a tropical island...

Maybe this is why they're scared to give us bayonet lugs

This attack happened at a train station. Train stations are always crowded, and contain a few "cattle chute" like areas. Heavy bladed weapons like a watermelon knife(machete) are commonly used in these attacks. This seems to be part of an ethnic conflict between the ethnic majority Han people, and the muslim separatist Uighars(wee-gars). I would certainly expect to see a retaliatory attack sometime soon. This attack happened near to where my MIL lives in SW China. 

 

BTW: Sadly the death toll is now up to 33.

Sheltering in place...

I kove the way the government went from Lock down to now  a much softer Shelter in Place

Well the only logical conclusion is to ban knives, do it for the children.

Calling it a "knife" attack is a bit of a misnomer. From what I read they were described as "cleavers" or almost swords.

the meat cleaver is the weapon of choice. very easy to injure and kill this many people. I work in a transit facility like this and the amount of people in a small area funneled to the same location for escape makes it a killing field. where I work we have thousands of people at peak times. can you imagine how much more crowded these stations are in china

A "lock down" and a "shelter in place" are two completely different things and done for different reasons.

They would be correct on the first point.

More than 27 dead, and there's at least half a dozen jokes in here.  There's nothing wrong with the serious discussions, but maybe a little more tact should be exercised regarding the jokes.  Let's remember that this is a public forum which represents firearms enthusiasts.

A couple of fit guys with swords and a movie theater in the US and they would have killed more.
