Of course, all you see is knives, because they took your guns away and this is how you were raised.
You are scared of knives-because you don't *have* a gun. If you did, knives would only scare you if they got close enough to cut you.
Otherwise gun > knife.
Your fear of knives is no different than citizens fear of gun toting gangs in the US.
It is the same thing, just a different tool. We grew up with guns, you grew up with knives.
It matters not the tool used, the intent is what counts. Guns no more kill people than knives do. Both require someone with intent to use them in that manner.
Yeah, but gun need less "skill" to kill someone lol.
to be attacked by a knife, i need to be close to someone.
A gun, the guy could be far away xD.
So we got less murder then you !! Even if we had the same # of "attack versus a human" then you. Our lack of gun would make the death count far less !!! If you use the argument that ( all country have criminal ) our criminal are far less lethal then yours ! due to the lack of gun !
And if i use you logic.
In Canada : ( in current time because gun here are rare )
1- I got nothing, so im scare of knife people
2 - i got a gun so im not scare of knife people ( lol bad english there sorry, im french ).
But in USA : ( in my views, from a outside ).
1- i got a gun BUT the criminal got a gun
So who win in the USA things ? xD Both have gun, it's just become the "better aim and the faster shot" will win.
If not limiting gun acces, limiting Bullet acces ( by hard control and clip size below 10-15 ) it would be the best solution !

Why in hell does England have a Queen? What do you need a Queen for? There's absolutely zero functional use for a royal family.

OK Max, just for you I'll be as polite as I can since you seem like a good person.
Look, the United States, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand all share a common language - American.
Folks have been speaking American for centuries, and yet we have these small "differences."
I don't know why, but your Brits can't even properly spell the word "color." You also have a problem with eons, aging, bevy, catalog, defense, favor, and a couple hundred other American words.
May I suggest you guys get an American Dictionary, I think Oxford has a good one, and study up.
Once we all get on the same page with everyone speaking the same language, American, this should free us up to greater understandings and tolerance of minor differences and cultural icons.
