What? Then we have laws like in the UK where people under 18 can't buy kitchen knives? Basing national policy on fear does not solve anything.

- the-kenny 14y agoNo, just forbid guns. Kitchen knives are made to cut food. Guns are made for killing. "Twenty-two children injured. Versus, at current count, 18 little children and nine other people shot dead. That's the difference between a knife and a gun." http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/12/american-exceptionalism-the-shootings-will-go-on/266293/ http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/12/american...
- moistgorilla 14y agoWhy do you think access to kitchen knives was restricted in the UK? When people stopped having access to guns they started using knives for crimes. Guns have legitimate uses for self defense. What the object is made for is irrelevant, anything can be used to kill someone.
- joezydeco 14y agoStay focused here. Nobody is talking about knives.
- moistgorilla 14y agoThe point I was trying to make was that when guns were banned in the UK people started using knives to commit crimes. Then they restricted access to knives too. Then they installed cctv cameras on every corner. This is not the type of world I would want to live in.
