spitballs? I mean c'mon. you never been smacked in the back of the head by a gingivitis infected spitwad by some underage puke? I swear, those are lethal in the hands of a childYes, and I strongly oppose a ban on spitballs, pea shooters and B.B. guns.

Update on the story
The man accused of butchering and beheading a Greyhound bus seat-mate was a polite and punctual Edmonton newspaper carrier who recently asked for time off to attend a job interview in Winnipeg, says his boss.
Vincent Augert, a newspaper distribution supervisor, said he last spoke to accused killer Vince Weiguang Li in mid-July when he requested days off work. He delivered papers for about eight months.
Li, charged yesterday with second-degree murder, continued delivering papers until Monday.
"I just had shivers," said Augert of the horrific Wednesday night killing. "And I still do. I cannot believe this.
"He's a nice guy."
Augert said Li had been regarded as a quiet and reliable carrier with a superior work ethic.
"He did a really good job for us," he said. "He picked up his papers on time and (there were) never any problems.
"This freaked me out more than anything."
Li, 40, was arrested after carnival worker Tim McLean Jr., 22, was repeatedly stabbed in the neck while riding a Winnipeg-bound Greyhound bus on Wednesday night.
He was then carved up and beheaded in front of horrified passengers who had fled the bus.
There are also allegations from some witnesses the attacker committed cannibalism before leaping from a bus window and being arrested.
Passengers said the seemingly unprovoked attack happened near Portage la Prairie, Man., at about 8:30 p.m., prompting the driver to make an emergency stop as the perpetrator slashed at McLean's body.
Thirty-seven passengers were aboard the bus, which the attacker was said to have boarded in Brandon, Man.
Augert said after Li delivered newspapers in the Clairview area Monday, "he fell off the face of the Earth.
"I was thinking something was wrong. It just wasn't in his character not to deliver papers."
He didn't even collect his July paycheque, his former boss said.
Augert was shocked after reading of his employee's arrest for the gruesome bus slaying.
"I just can't believe it," he said. "You hear these stories, but when you find out it's somebody you know, it's totally mind-boggling."
Augert was told Li was going to Winnipeg for a job interview, but he said Li's wife was left with a different impression.
She thought he'd vanished from the home to attend an out-of-town family emergency and she hadn't heard from him in days, he said.
Before leaving, Li left his cellphone with his wife, who lived with him in an apartment near 105 Avenue and 90 Street.
His cellphone voice mail message offered evidence of Li's polite nature.
"Thank you," it says. "You have a wonderful day."

Nobody seems to give a shit when a drunk driver wipes out an entire family on one of Canada's roads but let some loonie lose it and kill one person in a one in a trillion occurance on a bus and the entire population is outraged and demanding action.
Whats wrong with this picture?

knife ban?
Possibly the stupidest idea I've heard in decades. The long gun registry is bad enough. Banning "Rambo" knives etc. is a complete waste of time, this is one case where size does not matter. I have, in my time cleaned and quartered a deer with a 2.5 inch Swiss Army Knife (left the good knife at home). It just takes longer thats all. How about we take money out of the registry and put where it does the most good, better mental health care system. I don't know about other provinces, but the Manitoba plan seems to be "let them wander the streets".
And for all you guys that think having handguns is the answer. 1. As a rule, handguns are inaccurate weapons. 2. Watching someone being stabbed and decapitated would induce panic. 3. A panicky shooter with an inaccurate weapon is a great way to cause additional casualties.
Unless you are actually trained for this kind of thing, keep your bullshit vigilante fantasies to yourself.

I guess you read only the title of this thread?
Didn't realize it was tongue and cheek to an ealier thread about guns?
Or perhaps it went right over your head?
Then the headline would have been "30 Dead after AK-47 Rampage" instead
What's your point?

Knife registry and Stockwell Day
perhaps Day and the Conservitives are idiots but if a knife registry could be as effective and cost efficient as the gun registry. Yeah that's really curbed crime hasn't it? Like all the gang-bangers opening fire on city streets with un-registered weapons.

Right On!
And criminals won't give a crap about any damned knife registry either. When will people figure this out. What I'd like to know is how 30 some odd passengers didn't jump this psycho. They probably couldn't have save the victim but why wouldn't they try and sudue this creep. It's like terrorists taking down jetliners armed with box cutters for cripes sake!

THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF A "KNIFE REGISTRY"
It's crap dreamed up by a certain idiotic politician and a few right-wing newspapers - all trying to portray political parties they don't like as foolish.
If there were all these "calls" in Ottawa for a knife registry - why haven't we seen any actual, named MP's talking about it? The only - REPEAT ONLY - time it was mentioned was Stockwell Day quipping about unnamed people. No names.
Despite queries, no reporters on Parliament Hill have managed to find any actual MP's who want a "knife registry" looked at.
What there HAVE been calls for are a re-examination of security at bus terminals.

Who are you calling a fuckwad you ignorant moronic piece of shit. I dont give a shit if you diasgree with my opinion but to sit behind a computer and mouth off really says something about what kind of stupid cunt you are.Wilde:
Ignore button - use it.
You see, I know that (1) silky and the other fuckwad are saying stuff that's completely assinine, inflammatory, and just plain stupid, (2) they're both ignorant dipshits, and (3) they both would have been stepping over little old ladies to run for the hills in this case.
But the ignore button keeps me from having to read their dumb crap.
Bartdude i bet yuor mother never breast fed u. ppl who arent fed have a 20% smaller brain than breast fed kids cuz the brain is made of saturated fat.
i'll bet you'll call that a conspiracy.
