Definition: In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.
Input: Comment: It seems much easier to use a gun than up close and personal with a knife. This is what appeals to the users. 
With a firearm, very impersonal. All you got to do is twitch a finger and the deed is done.
The argument about using other means is not relevant. Yes, if one intends to kill there are other means but a firearm makes it much more "efficient" and impersonal.
