Um, I would really rather face a mugger with a knife than a mugger with a gun. At least if he has a knife, I can get out of range pretty darned easily.With a gun, you're never sure if you're out of range. Same with robbing a bank with a knife. Same with B&E'ing a house with a knife. A good dog outweighs a knife any day. So yes, I would rather the petty criminals have knives than guns. Criminals who make more money will always have money to spend on black market guns, but at least the crackheads will be restricted to knives and crap like that.
