    Not that many, and those that occur have low rates of fatality. Knives just aren’t as lethal as guns, especially when you look at some of the most infamous school shooters. The guy who shot up Sandy Hook looked to be about 125 pounds soaking wet. I kinda doubt he could have killed a single child armed with whatever knife you like. The knife attackers in London a few years ago were larger, had trained and prepared, but killed like 2 people.

      yes, knives as a weapon are far less lethal than guns, but i’m referring to deranged individuals willing to attack and kill children at all regardless of weapon.
