But would you rather be in a position to defend yourself from a knife / blade or someone with a gun?
Yes. He wanted to kill them. Yes, without guns he would have likely have tried to kill them. But the idea is to make it more difficult to do it.
Is it easier to kill multiple people with a gun or a knife? Sure. I guess he could have gone with explosives, but that is a far more difficult undertaking for most than simply getting a gun.
I'm not saying it'll solve the problem or that murder will just disappear, but it will make it more difficult for people to kill each other, especially en masse.

In your case I think we need to discuss some sensible First Amendment restrictions. Isn't it time?

The only restriction that would hold any meaning would be to restrict at the point of production. And that is unlikely. Restricting honest purchase doesn't help whatsoever, it's merely appeasement in lieu of tragedy.

What is "it?" Gun ban and total confiscation? A mental health check before buying? What are you referencing?

This logic is so jacked and nonsensical.
The question isn't would I rather defend myself from a knife or a gun, what someone else arms themself with is totally out of an individual's control.
You know what factor can be controlled for though? What protection I have. 10 times out of 10 I would rather have a gun to defend myself with against a gun or a knife.
