Ernest,
These things are a matter of proportion, like all such proposals. Knives have many more day-to-day usages and would be much harder to 'control', while at the same time being far less potentially destructive than guns. The amount of time it takes to stab 7 people and the amount of time it takes to shoot 7 people are incomparable. The fact that this lunatic didn't have access to a gun, particularly a semi-auto, probably saved many lives.
