Up to 20 students stabbed at a US High School.

gun is a more lethal weapon, there's nothing to argue here

Oh my god, if it was me I'd (like to think I'd) waited until they were turned around and then would smack them around the head with a chair. :/

If somebody had had a gun or had the teacher been armed then this ******* would have been shot dead instantly.

Not really, it's down to blood loss. If I stab someone in the heart it is no more lethal than shooting them in the heart.

head injury by a gun is almost always fatal? gun can be used from a distance

so do you agree that a gun is a more lethal weapon then?

any weapon can be lethal if used properly in the wrong hands, but a gun would more likely to result in more casualties had he brought one with enough ammo. However, I think an amateur could do more harm with a knife than a gun, still the problem lies with the madman

Lol at anyone trying to argue that a knife is more deadly than a gun. I wonder what people from Columbine High School or Virginia Tech would have to say about that.

I know you're much less likely to get a gunshot wound infected because the heat of the bullet burns away all bacteria, whilst the wound of a knife would be absolutely crawling with germs, but you can hurt a lot more people in a shorter time with a gun.. Just depends how you want to look at it.

Anyway, I hope people are beginning to recover now!

It all depends on where you're stabbed and loads of other factors. Infection is the least of you worries though, the actual wound caused is more important and with a cut/stab wound the damage is usually left to whatever has been directly hit, whereas a bullet will destroy or damage any tissue it passes which creates a wound channel. A clean cut wound heals better than a gunshot wound where the surrounding tissue is pushed aside as the bullet enters/leaves the body. Generally though a gunshot wound is more severe than a stab wound.

Hope everyone that was injured gets to make a recovery!!!
