Banning guns is philosophically unsound, for the exact reasons this guy just listed. Look at Britian where they are now having unprecedented amounts of stabbings and are actually confiscating things like pliers and forks.
- AQuantized 7y agoI'm uncertain about this idea that increase in knife crime means gun control is pointless. I'd much rather get stabbed than shot given the differential in mortality. Even if all gun crimes were replaced with knife crimes the per capita homicide will be lower.
- 2Ccltvcm 7y agoGuns are loud even with a silencer. Knife crimes are easier to conceal in urban ambush situations.
- grumdan 7y agoIf that were such a big factor, then allowing guns wouldn't make a difference, as criminal could still choose to carry a knife for this reason.
- g00s3_caLL_x2 7y agoLook at Chicago for an example: It's one of the most restrictive states in the union on 'gun control' yet has some of the highest murder rates and death by guns across the board. Seems to have worked GREAT there!
- jammygit 7y agoI read years ago in a book about gangs that knife wounds lead to death far more often than gunshot wounds
