An unspecified man, probably a Buddhist asian or Christian white man, wink wink, nudge nudge, kills 8 people in Australia with a knife before the police arrives.

Boy, you'd really think someone would have the balls - obviously they have no guns - to stop the psychopath, and be it just with a freaking metal rod.

A random man with a gun would have ended this bloodbath in seconds. But this isn't going to be the thing people will talk about, is it now? They'll probably talk about banning knives instead.

Anyway, this once again goes to show that guns had a similar effect as antibiotics: all other remedies were forgotten. How on earth did NOBODY have any weapon with which you can easily stop a man with a freaking knife?
