Another parrotted talking point I see a lot with no critical thinking. If knives are so deadly, why are you so worried about guns being banned? Wouldn't the knife be just as effective for protection? That's the implication of this question. To answer this idiot, France has a homicide rate (all causes) of under 1.5 per 100,000. America has a homicide rate (just firearms) of nearly 6 per 100,000. Maybe check your stats before you blow yourself like a smug dipshit.
