MS would have a much better chance of taking down a knife-wielding assailant coming at him than he would someone with a gun, Gunnar.
The person with a knife would have to get within arm's length of MS who would have a chance of fighting off the attacker. Someone approaching him with a gun could shoot him from a safe distance by just pulling the trigger, leaving MS (or any other human target) virtually no chance to fight back.
No one is denying that knives can be used as weapons to kill people, sometimes multiple people in a single incident. The only one denying that a person can take down more people in a public setting in the same amount of time with less effort using a semi-automatic gun than a knife is you. It defies common sense.
