If you decide to come after me with a knife, that will be PURELY a matter of YOUR choice, with no CONCEIVABLE justification.

If as recently happened at Ohio State, you pull out a knife (after having run somebody over) and start slashing people while screaming "Allahu akhbar", I'm not going to run away, nor am I going to argue the finer points of sharia law with you. What I WILL do is show you why the Republic of the Philippines is developing a reputation for producing quality firearms.

Choices have consequences, sometime including being "Mozambiqued". If you try to knife me to death, that's what will happen and it's 100% on you.
