Per both 2018 and 2021 UK and US statistic reports, the UK has more than double the amount of knife/cutting instruments than the US per capita, so let’s just ftfy.
I’m not disagreeing, you are correct, guns are indiscriminate, blades are confrontational. But to reiterate from my previous point, it doesn’t matter WHAT weapon, people will still kill people. Ban guns? Stab em with a knife. Ban knives? Baseball bat. Ban blunt weapons? Sock full of nickles.
If somebody wants someone else dead, they’re gonna find a way. People are all sorts of fucked up.
