Yes, look at Britain, guns are restricted and the crime rate goes up, so now there is a big movement to ban pointed knives. Sharp sticks should be next. They won’t or can’t see that the problem is with the person and not the object. But they have to control the access to knives, guns and sticks to control the people.
You can ban everything but human nature. Evil has been around since the world’s first murder and no one had guns back then.
