I don't think that and don't appreciate the framing you're trying to impose on me. Could you perhaps word comments like this more carefully?

What I think is that people armed with firearms give the police much less reaction time, while people armed with knives can, if they're not on a vector that puts them in contact with other officers or civilians, be pacified more gradually.

This is a fantastic, measured answer - I'm always pleased to see reasonable responses to unreasonable comments.

Sorry for the choice of words, but my point was that a person armed with just a knife can still be very dangerous. The use of a gun in such a situation cannot be simply called a deadly overreaction, without going into details. Therefore I do not see my comment as unreasonable.

Nobody called it a "deadly overreaction", so I'm a little confused about this comment.
