I can fight someone with a knife, been there and done that, bit harder to fight someone shooting at me, been there and done that too. I'd rather have a muppet come at me with a knife than a gun. Don't read about British school knife massacres. We had an instance in Wolverhampton where a bloke attacked a load of kids having a school picnic with a machete .... no one died. We have a lot of knife attacks but not many are fatal.
