So the self righteous douche bags in the uk have found the old gun's don't kill people, people kill people to be true obviously. Why? because they have taken the guns away ad now the self righteously smug, still can not stand each other so rather than shot they are stabbing each other to the point legislation is being put fourth to restrict the use and who can carry one...
again knife gun pushed out of a window it all the same it is not the tool that is the problem, people are. It is clear that pop morality can not keep the population in check lke most of you 'good people' thinks it can. therefore you all foolishly think if you remove the tools people can't can not build or wreck what they set out to do? Shame on you for being that naive.
bad people will always exist despite how enlightened you feel you are because you in your mind don't need God. great. now what of the monsters in society who do need God to keep them in check? do you think banning knives will help you? what's next sticks? hammers screw drivers? will you have all windows nail shut above the second floor as well if people start pushing other out of windows?
good luck with your knife ban douche bags.
And yet we still have stringent sentences for people carrying knives and the sale of knives is strictly controlled which is mainly quite effective.
Guns on the other hand are pure killing machines and even the most prolific knifer has to get quite close to carry out their foul deed whereas, a gun arsehole can do it from a distance.
So even at its worst knife crime is less harmful than gun attacks and is harder to stop because knives be useful.
I think what Drich is doing here is trying to compare a recent problem in the uk, that is recognised as a problem, with people searching for practical solutions to a long term situation in the US which is far worse that people aren't combatting at all.
Look at how NZ treated its mass shooting for an effective way to deal with guns.
