The same can be said with guns that have a purpose,other then solely kill (people)or seriously injure. Such as for sports and hunting for food.
But as for knives,it too can be used to kill or injure people.
China knife massacre, of 29 people.
Attacks at the city's train station also saw 143 people injured, as the assailants hacked and slashed at people apparently at random.
Osaka school massacre:37-year-old former janitor Mamoru Takuma entered the school armed with a kitchen knife and began stabbing numerous school children and teachers. He killed eight children, mostly between the ages of seven and eight, and seriously wounded thirteen other children and two teachers.
I just find it pathetic that people get the urge to bash on "Americans" cause we don't have guns banned yet county's that do have such bans and what happens? The insane people find other ways to kill.
Like I said,let's just ban everything that can be used as a tool to kill people and let the government have them to use on us.
