What We Know From NBC News -At least 14 people were hurt Tuesday in a stabbing spree at a Texas community college, authorities said. Sheriff’s officials said a suspect was in custody. It was not immediately clear how severe the injuries were. The stabbing happened at the CyFair campus of Lone Star College, in the Houston suburb of Cypress. Life Flight personnel rush a stabbing victim to a helicopter Tuesday near Lone Star College in Cypress, Texas. A spokeswoman for North Cypress Medical Center outside Houston said the hospital had taken six stabbing victims who were in stable condition. Another hospital, Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, said it had six patients, including four flown there by helicopter. The school closed for the day and ordered students to find shelter somewhere safe. Campus police caught the suspect, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said. The stabbing happened at 11:20 a.m., Lone Star College said in a statement. The school had warned students that a second suspect might be at large, but sheriff’s officials said later that they believed they had the only suspect in custody. A person is taken to a helicopter near the scene of reported multiple stabbings at Lone Star College in Texas. In January, three people were shot at a separate campus of the same college. A federal official said that those shootings appeared to be gang-related. A 22-year-old man was charged with aggravated assault. The Lone Star system of colleagues has 90,000 students in all. Knife Facts Source:   Foodbeast News Knives Are Most Dangerous Hand Tool Source:   Domestic Production Statistics indicate that knives are more frequently the source of disabling injuries than any other hand tool. People in all occupations are injured by knives—the high school student working in the supermarket produce department, the retail store employee who attempts to open a box, the slaughterhouse worker, the salad chef. Actually, all of us are frequently exposed to knife injuries for no other reason than the fact that a knife is a very useful and therefore much-used tool. By the time we were old enough to work, most of us had already learned the basic dangers associated with knives. Hiking, camping, or just plain whittling usually bring on enough accidental cuts to acquaint a young person with some of those realities. But we didn’t always learn the safety precautions as quickly. The principal hazard in using a knife in industry, safety experts have concluded, is that the user’s hand may slip from the handle onto the blade, causing a painful and possibly serious injury. Keeping handles dry and nongreasy will help prevent this mishap. A handle guard will eliminate this hazard. Another cause for injury is the knife’s striking the free hand or the body. When using a knife, the cutting stroke should be away from the body whenever possible. Otherwise, adequate protection should be worn to protect the body. Mail gloves are available for selected industries such as meat packing, where materials must be held close to where the knife will cut. Provisions should also be made to hold materials steady. If it’s necessary to carry a knife on the job, it should be in a sheath or holder. Safety experts recommend that the sheath be worn over the right or left hip and toward the back. A knife carried in front or over the leg could cause a serious injury in a fall. Storage of knives is an important safety factor, too. Exposed cutting edges should be covered, and knives should be kept in their proper place, not left on benches or on the floor. First aid is very important if you are cut by a knife. Even the smallest cut should be treated to help avoid infection. Injury records are full of cases in which someone neglected a small injury and blood poisoning developed, causing several weeks of lost time from the job. One of the more publicized cases occurred many years ago when the son of Calvin Coolidge died from a blister that was neglected. Certainly, any serious complications from a cut are even more tragic these days when there are so many first-aid treatments available. It’s often said that there’s nothing more painful than getting cut with a dull knife. That may be a slight exaggeration, but it brings up a good point—keep knives sharp and in good condition. A dull knife can cause you to put too much pressure on the object you’re trying to cut, and the blade could slip and slice you or someone nearby. Never use a knife that is defective—for instance, one that has a broken handle or blade. Of course, a sure way to break a knife is to throw it or use it as a screwdriver. Use your knife only for what it was meant to do. If you’re using the right knife for the job, it should cut without difficulty. When you have to resort to sheer force to make a knife cut, you’re headed for trouble: damage to the knife or to the material you’re attempting to cut or, worst of all, injury to yourself or someone else. Knife Injuries Out Number Gun-Related Injuries With a shocking number of knives known to be in each American home and many businesses, it is not surprising that there are more injuries and deaths from suicide by knives.    The recent study by the Americans Concerned About Knife Safety reveals that you are ten times as likely to be cut than shot accidentally while cleaning a loaded firearm.   Democrats Seize The Moment and Go For Your Knives Fresh off the carnage of Sandy Hook where children were killed by a perpetrator with a set of guns he didn't need, didn't buy, didn't trade for, didn't get from a garage sale, and didn't obtain through a gun show, we now have the tragic situation with a mass-knifing of 14 people in Texas. As expected, there was the shrill calls by leftist politicians to limit knife ownership and to pass extreme and sweeping controls on knives including background checks to buy even butter and plastic knives.     "We must act now to prevent senseless knife deaths and injuries for the children," noted Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader. "I have called together the Senate Committee on Cutlery and Dangerous Kitchen Utensils and we will seek to limit knives over 1 inch long and those knives which cut too easily.   If we could make it so that it takes 10 minutes to puncture the skin, that will allow time for first responders to arrive at the scene and to negotiate with the perpetrator," noted Senator Diane Feinstein, Chairperson of the Cutlery Committee. No First Amendment Fight Here Notes Senator Senator Chucku Schumer, Democrat from New York, was quick to point out that there is no right to own a knife and that Senate action will be swift and brutal against knife owners who do not vote for the Democrat party.   "We will cut up all opposition to this common-sense knife legislation.   We will not be bullied by lobbyists who have the Republicans in their pocket while our lobbyists demand immediate action!" noted Chucku President Proudly Leads From Behind Again According to White House spokesperson, Jay Carney, the President is expected to issue a sweeping speech on the need to register all knives including picnic basket sets and plastic knives which are made with environmentally unsafe petroleum products.     The President is said to be ready to outline a 15 point plan to ensure that future mass knifings are made nearly impossible and calls for all Federal agencies to research making safer knives and to limit all purchases of knives and to prohibit garage, knife, and kitchenware shows.   All knife owners who currently have any knife with a blade over 1 inch in length will be asked to be registered and all knives will be required to have serial numbers on the blades and on the handles and there will be no more knife sharpening permitted. Republicans Already Blocking Knife Control CNN is reporting that Republican leaders in the Congress immediately were taking the side of the knife industry as they inquired how their steaks will be cut and what happens when a criminal with a switchblade invades your home and you only have a hobby knife with a dull blade to defend yourself. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell who hates women and children was overhead in an off-the-record meeting noting "I bought a beautiful set of steak knives with gold trim made from exotic woods from the rainforest.   I bet Harry Reid would just die if he saw these." National Knife Association Issues Statement The spokesperson for the National Knife Association came out with a strong statement that advocates putting unarmed guards in all schools and public buildings and to not rush to judgment on all knives as knives don't injure people, people injure people with poor knife training.    The statement also asks that knife training be done in schools so that proper cutting of meat can be done and all students should have wire mesh containing gloves issued to protect their young hands.    The statement concludes that all children should be issued wire mesh under garments to make the children safer. Public Support For Safer Knives Increases According to the USA-Time-Warner-Looney-Tunes poll of 2,244 unregistered voters of any age and employment status who responded to their phone with heavy breathing, 9 out of 10 surveyed believed that knives do cut and that there should be ways to make knives safer and to keep them out of the hands of people likely to use them to hurt people. "My daughter picked up a butter knife that had a rough edge and caused her finger to bleed!   You would think that in the era of drones we could come up with knives that turn on only when they are about to cut food," noted single mother, Janella Lombard, whose 12 children range in age from 10 months to 10 years. Knife Sales Skyrocket The public seems undeterred and slightly motivated by the news of impending knife registration and knife control as Walmart, Dollar General, Target, and Sears all report that knife sales have doubled in the wake of the knife control discussion. "How da hell am I gonna cut my deer meat that I hunted with my AR-15?" noted Bubba Jameson of White Dumb Fuck, Arkansas.   "You think I'm going to spend all night trying to cut my deer meat with a fork even if I was tempted to eat it with a spoon.   Hell, no!" Vice President Bite Me Issues Statement "I once used a knife and now regret that I stored it in a drawer in the kitchen where my grand kids could find it.   We need to require locks on kitchen drawers, but the President's Knife Proposal will seek to prevent future knife sales and allow us to confiscate all knives from butter to huge carving knives.    We must act now!   For the children!"
