Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

Military gear without military training is going to lead to a lot of problems, you know that right?Like what? There are already civilians that own machine guns, mortars, small artillery, flamethrowers, etc. Stuff like that is heavily regulated and expensive. Most of the people that go through the trouble to get such weapons are serious enthusiasts/collectors that know how to handle them.What I was replying to was the guy saying that military weapons should be given to anyone who can afford them unless they have a history of mental health issues or whatever.
His reasoning was to arm the populace in-case of invasion. If you want to do that, just make a very open reserves service or mandatory military training. Giving out the gear without telling people how to use it right will lead to people misusing it.

The problem is you ultimately can't prevent these things from happening.
If someone wanted to kill/hurt a bunch of people, they will.
Look at the guy in China with a knife. Knives are far less deadly than firearms in the hands of an average person.
wut
A knife is really deadly close range and far easier to obtain than a gun, plus it doesn't need ammo or re-loading.
You could easily seriously hurt or kill many people with a knife cutting them deep anywhere. I thought we were trying to stop the massacres. There are two knife massacres that are in my memory than gun massacres.
One guy with a knife is going to kill a lot less people than one guy with a gun.
A gun is point, shoot, and you will injure someone. Easy to do in close range, but 'close range' can extend up to a hundred metres.
A knife is slice, or stab while moving many parts of your body to the best effect, something which is not easy to do unless taught. Knives are deadly when used in the right place, but the right place is hard to get unless you've been taught, especially if your target plans to fight back.
You can run from a knife. You can't run from a bullet.
And no, knives don't always land pointy end in.
