They should start registering knives like in the UK.

All Japanese are knife wielding child killers.

If they had to register thier knives, and pay a fee for it, just think of all the money sushi restaurants would have to pay!!!

Thank goodness guns are banned.  Imagine the carnage if the perp had access to a gun.

Oh, it would have been the same.  Hmm, better bury this story.  

Hate to see that happens...Sushi price will skyrocket.

Yah imagine one of those fools at the school had a gun and shot the knife weilding maniak before he stabbed anyone? The world would go into caos if people could "prevent" crime, thank god guns are hard to get for law abiding people!

Dude this wasnt a school, this was someones [b]home[/i] this time...
