Was this an overly asinine reply on Facebook?

Basically someone posted on Facebook "we will not stop mass shootings until we remove guns from society" which I found a tad asinine, so I made an asinine reply which was "we will not stop mass stabbings until we remove kitchen knives from society and have to eat with butter knives"
Was that a decent reply, or just..asinine, and nothing else? Discuss

No more asinine than asking the pub for input on Facebook interactions.

Making posts about Facebook posts is in itself, asinine.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream.

That's a poster here I know, but I don't know what their posts are like because I don't read these forums much haha

I guess it comes down to whether or not you count butter knives as kitchen knives. Either way though this thread really sucks.

Facebook is really fun for causing critical levels of butthurt.
That's all I have to say on this subject

Nah even a .22 has many applications in which it's useful. A butter knife is good for like one, maybe two fucking things. That would make it a flare gun.
I hate when I'm at a restaurant and the only knife they offer is a butter knife. At least give me one of those crappy round tipped dull as hell wannabe steak knives.

Very few mass knife killings. The degree of lethality is much greater with guns. By your logic we might as well legalize every kind of weapon because there are legal objects that can be used to kill. Giving every citizen the right to possess something that can kill at long range with the pull of a trigger seems kinda strange to me. But, I'm Canadian so I never grew up with the 'right to bear arms' mentality.

I think your reply was a bit asinine. My own politics aside, it seems bad to get worked up publicly on Facebook.

You make it sound like everyone who picks up a gun is automatically a special ops sniper. Crazy people are going to kill people, taking away guns will not change that. Crazy people build bombs, crazy people commit mass poisonings, crazy people go on state wide killing sprees with duct tape, rope and a buck knife. Crazy people are going to kill people. When someone starts chanting ban the guns because that's what people are using to kill people all they're doing is hiding from the reality of the situation. Which is we have no real reliable way to determine who's going to go completely damn mental and try to kill a bunch of people. So we can't stop this shit. What everyone should be pushing for is some way to actually fix the problem rather than paint an inanimate object as the key to it all.

3.1 more murders per 100000 people per year...this is a small difference. America a much larger sample group, maybe the murder rate just trends more toward the historical norm for that reason? still, even with all those guns in America, our murder rate doesn't look anything like these guys:
