So those are easier than whittling a sick into a point? That's a pretty good argument you got there.

Says you. Again knives were first designed to kill people. They do so at a higher rate in Canada than firearms. The reasoning here is because I don't use my firearms to kill is no argument for their viability; since their original purpose it to kill. Same with knives, I don't care how you decide to cut your turkey. Knives bad.

Why does original purpose matter? This is a very silly argument. One is essential for daily tasks (eating, construction, medicinal, etc), the other is not. Why are you arguing about what cavemen made a blade for????

Who cares about this when your whole argument lies in original designed purpose/altruism.

Ahhh that's what's been keeping my firearms from killing people. The regs.
So if the regulations and controls are working for guns then surely you can get behind a knife registry, central storage, and govt medical disclosure forms before you can use one yes? Let's get that 'homicides by knives' number lower. Agreed?

No. Less guns means less successful homicides. We don't need to reduce our knife homicides because our homicide rate is one if the lowest in the world. There isn't a leading need for a multibillion dollar useless beaurocracy to decrease something that's already absurdly low. We also don't need further gun regulations either
