Don't you want to reduce the amount of people killed each year?
You have me all wrong. I'm not advocating for guns, I'm advocating for banning knives. They meet every "acceptable" metric for being banned, correct? Made for killing, you don't need one, we can have a registry, central storage, mental screening, works for other countries, think of the kids.
Reducto adsurdum would apply; if only knives and firearms were as rare in civilian hands as nuclear material.

No...it is foolish to equate a weapon designed specifically to project lethal force with a tool like a knife or a hammer.
If you can't tell the difference...you are a fool
