1700s The earliest known United States shooting to happen on school property was the Pontiac's Rebellion school massacre on July 26, 1764, where four Lenape American Indian entered the schoolhouse near present-day Greencastle, Pennsylvania, shot and killed schoolmaster Enoch Brown, and killed nine or ten children (reports vary).
When the UK has fully automatic knives that can stab multiple people in microseconds then we can compare apples to apples but until then I will take a knife problem over guns in a micro heartbeat.
It has to be a repeating knife launcher. Not only can you stab microseconds apart, you can stab people from great distances. And you carry hundreds of knives on you to stab with.
Just posting facts boss. If that bothers you then maybe do a fact check beforehand.
To respond though: most people typically don’t need a daily driver knife… and if they do: a pen knife or box cutter is probably sufficient. Generally speaking- the less dangerous things in immediate reach of someone having a breakdown is probably better and likely saves lives.
To be fair, if you banned knives, how would you be able to perform one of those famous british stabbings. As a tourist, visiting London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds or even Glasgow just wouldn’t be the same.
Maybe because comparing knives to guns, which is exactly what you are doing, is fucking stupid. Guns literally have the capacity to murder hundreds of people within minuets.
You are riddled with logical fallacies. Perhaps you should get that looked at.
The UK dates back to the 1700s and has a knife problem but we don’t talk about that or ban knives

Man, a minigun that shoots knives would be awesome.

Ironically their knife control is tighter than some state’s gun control.
But you already know why they don’t ban knife.
If I’m not mistaken they don’t exactly take kindly to even letter openers. So you’d be incorrect.
Seriously do you have to do a background check for a pairing knife grow up

A box cutter is not allowed without a good specific reason. It has a living blade, which is not allowed at any length.

It’s practically a British rite of passage.
Can you really say you’ve had the proper UK experience if you haven’t been stabbed? I myself was stabbed 17 times on my last outing to Brighton.
Aww, you’re so lucky! I’ve only been there once, and only got 5.
