Many of the world's biggest mass killings we're with knife's
The Sagamihara stabbings were committed on 26 July 2016 in Midori Ward, Sagamihara, Kanagawa, Japan. Nineteen people were killed and twenty-six others were injured, thirteen severely, at a care home for disabled people.[1][2] The suspect was a 26-year-old man, identified as Satoshi Uematsu (植松 聖, Uematsu Satoshi), a former employee of the care facility.[3] Uematsu surrendered at a nearby police station with a bag of knives and was subsequently arrested.[4][2][5] The attack was described as one of the worst crimes committed on Japanese soil in modern history.[3]
We need to look at the nature of these attacks, also I see it in different ways. I grew up around survivers. From the age of 7, I resolved to arm myself and my family.
I lost over 100 extended relatives of my grandparents family in ww2.
My grandfather helped orchestrate the D-Day invasion.
My feelings of the need to be armed also reflect my feelings of what I love about America and that includes the Constitution and second amendment.
