Well we can't blame "gun violence" for this one. Maybe we'll begin focusing more on "knife violence" or "sword violence".
Or maybe we'll fess up to the fact that we have an epidemic of violence in this country that is fueled by underfunded mental health services and over prescribed mental health drugs.
I can't help but think that this might have been related to the homeschooling. These kids didn't go out of the house much, and weren't allowed to be with other kids. In an echo chamber like that, who knows what mental state they were in.

KNIVES KILL PEOPLE - WE NEED KNIFE CONTROL
Imagine how many lives could be saved if we required everyone to get a permit and register with a government agency before purchasing knives? It's one of the greatest failures of our government and society that we can't protect ourselves from people who can't control themselves with a knife.
Wait... that doesn't make sense..... it's obviously the person who did it - not the knife.

Only for knives that are black, are over 5" long (machetes, sickles, and clurits are ok), or fit on a rifle bayonet lug.

If only there was a big sign that said "Knife-Free Zone" on the front door, this tragedy never would have happened.

Maybe we can actually discuss mental illness now.

Guns don't kill people.
Knives don't kill people.
Assholes kill people.

Probably bought the knives at one of those god damn travelling Knife Shows. No background check required...
