Part of my point in starting this thread and being a little less then serious is that with knife crimes in the UK and gun crimes in the US is we often worry about things like banning guns and knives without examining the cause of the violence in the first place.
A gun or knife sitting there by itself doesn't harm anyone, but put it in the hands of someone with no regard for human life, safety, in some cases common sense and it's a problem.
In the US, we already have tons of gun laws but little regard is paid to them by someone who is determined they are going to commit a crime or go after someone. Same with something as ridiculous as a knife law.
I know it's a peacenik hippy thing to say, but if people started giving a shit about each other a little more, these things wouldn't be an issue. However, in the real world, there is a lot of human scum and filth that necessitates the need for people to arm and protect themselves.
