When guns are illegal, it makes it harder to get guns (both legally and illegally). Crimes like this can still happen, but the criminal is much more likely to use a knife not a gun.
There are situations where a knife is just as deadly as a gun. Occasionally they can be even more deadly. But, for the most part, the public is much safer when criminals are using knives not guns.

The whole “see, gun control doesn’t work” argument is definitely stupid, but I’ve also seen a lot of “this only happens in one country” comments when there are American mass shootings which is also patently false.
Edit: the article didn't specify it was a knife attack at the time of my post; my comment doesn’t apply

I think the kernel of truth to consider when dismissing those "only in America" comments is that the US has a specific and unique crisis with these kinds of massacres on its hands
Other countries that have these kinds of attacks as often as America are mostly ones facing terrorist cells, violent and entrenched organized crime, or full on war.

A man staying with the family stabbed the entire family -- 4 kids 7 years old and younger, both parents, and another person. Only the father seems to have survived. What a tragedy it is for him.
