Well, in a mass event, knives are overall less deadly because of the proximity requirement.

This is a very large part of the idea.

This isn’t a point. Like think back on what you just said - it’s literally “well if you’re very close to someone a knife is pretty deadly”

Yeah well I guess that’s why guns are deadlier because you don’t have to be close and can stab lots of people with your high velocity mini-knives.

Every time some tactical pedant will come out of their bunker to educate us on how ackshuyally navy seals prefer knives to guns because they like the smell of blood and every time it’s worthless

This guy survived 35 stab wounds. I've never heard of someone surviving 35 gunshot wounds.

Son, you ever see an exit wound?

Bullets cause massively more damage than knives, internally.

Agreed, but that correct employment takes a lot of practice and training. I wonder if there's been studies on the level of "damage" vs the perpetrators training/experience in these mass casualty events.

Pfsh. You're right. These guys aren't gonna be laughing during the next mass murder by a knife wielding escrima expert.
