With the possible exception of the cars, all of those personal 'weapons' are impossible to use to kill and injure lots of people in a short space of time ... unlike a moron with a (semi)automatic gun spraying bullets around. >>> A few nights ago a guy pulled a knife on a woman, forced her to drive >>> to >> a different location and raped her.  This happened a few blocks >>> away. >> What should she have done? >>> Same as in any modern and evolved country. > > Bend over and smile? > > She was sitting in her car in a restaurant parking lot at 8:30 at night > in a "safe" neighborhood.
