How many knives can a disaffected teen carry/throw per minute?
I wouldn’t seek to downplay how much damage a sufficiently motivated individual with a knife can do in a short space of time, but it is certainly orders of magnitude lower than a firearm in most cases.
I do feel like the media coverage of knife crime is overblown. The violent crime rate here is pretty low, and yet you have to be an adult to buy a seam ripper. Knife sales aren’t the reason for rises in violent crime, inequality is. Hopefully we can begin to address that with a new administration.
It’s comparatively low, but you take about the level of crime you have I guess, rather than crime you could have. I don’t hold much hope for whatever bizarre Frankenstein’s government is next in charge of the country, but we’ll have to cross that channel when we come to it.
I wouldn’t say I emigrated for any one reason, but fewer guns was one of the… many.
And before anyone says it, the only person to menace me with a knife has been my partner… and I think she was joking.
Regardless, a knife isn’t any risk to innocent people across the street from the intended victim. A gun on the other hand…

That’s for her to know :)

I didn’t call her bluff, so who’s to say.
