But aren't you agreeing that gun bans don't control the amount of shootings, when you say it depends on the ease of importing?
Yes; I don't think the Dunblane gun controls achieved anything positive. I certainly don't advocate banning guns in America. Even if it had helped here it probably wouldn't help there.
Guess that blows the whole no knife crime idea out of the water.
It was just a straw doll, wasn't it? You aren't arguing against a position anyone here has taken.
That said, I do think that knife crime is a lesser evil than gun crime. I don't think Hamilton would have been able to kill 16 children if he'd only been armed with knives. Recent reports show an increase in knife crime and a decrease in gun crime, and if that reflects criminals switching from guns to knives it's surely a good thing.
