I would hate to be on a bus with guns going off. 'Course I feel that way about planes, too, or any other small enclosed space.
Issodhos, nothing personal, as I'm sure you know - but being a Cold War baby, I have a tendency to place "your knife against his gun" discussions on one end of a sliding scale with hydrogen vs atom at the other end. A crazed person with a weapon, rock or derringer is a Very Bad Thing. I score rocks over derringers because they're slower; it's just a personal preference.
But it seems to me a comparison that never ends.
You got a knife / I got a gun
Come on boy, / We're gonna have a little fun.
I'm a crazy man / I'd die for love.
-- Hoyt Axton
Iroquois has a knife, settler has a musket;
Sioux has a rifle, soldier gets a Gatling gun;
Gatling gun vs flame thrower
Grenade vs mustard gas
Mustard gas vs strafing
Strafing vs firebombing
Firebombing vs atom bomb
Atom bomb vs hydrogen bomb
You got a knife / I got a gun
Come on, boy / we're gonna have a little fun
"You got a jeep / I got a tank
Come on boy / you can take it to the bank
We're crazy men / always push or shove"
