Imo there is no need for anyone to own a knife in china, chopsticks are a perfectly safe alternative (provided both ends are kept blunt and the chopstick is made out of less-sturdy wood), I don't see why anyone would need a knife, even to go hunting - they have farms and can adopt a vegetarian diet. A knife is a weapon made to kill and tear at flesh after all. Plus, just look overseas - after the UK did its various anti-knife-violence campaigns like "No Knives, Better Lives" http://noknivesbetterlives.com/ and "Save a Life, Surrender Your Knife" http://surrenderyourknife.co.uk/, there have been 0 incidents of mass stabbings since. Fact is, knife control works. At the very least, before purchasing a knife you should have a mandatory knife-safety training, a background check, and a mental health screening, following by a knife purchase waiting period, so we know that you are not buying it to slit your wrists and suicide. I think responsible knife ownership is possible, but the fact that anyone can just walk into a store and buy a killing weapon right now is absurd - if we don't want tragedies like knife murders and knife suicides, we need to stop the outrage and just pass knife control legislation.

Because knives are less inherently dangerous than firearms, have a legitimate reason for widespread ownership, and do not actively make society worse. I hope this has clarified this obvious matter to the standards of a sniveling toy-obsessed cretin, OP

Banning or requiring some type of vetting process for certain types of knives like "combat knives" with assisted open features, knives over 8" long (no machetes in the streets, thanks), and other arms is smart. A lot of people buying these types of knives are buying them as toys or penis supplements, lets be honest here. Simple fact is, most people just don't need a sharp or pointy knife, and those that do professionally should be certified, trained, and registered. We don't let people walk around with swords. Why do we let them walk around with knives? Knife control is sensible and all the people clinging to their knives are just buffoons and bumpkins.

ReagaNOMNOMicks posted:honestly people carrying knives around are sort of buffoons and bumpkins yeah Thank you. Plus, you attach a knife to a stick, and suddenly, you have either a spear or an arrow, both of which are incredibly deadly. During the Three Kingdoms War and the Mongol Conquests, a combined 76,000,000 (conservative estimate) to 110,000,000 (more generous estimate) people died as a direct result of that conflict. The weapons of choice? The spear and the arrow, both just knife modifications. China has a long history of death in wars due to that tool. Why is a military weapon on the streets of a civilized country? Who carries knives around in China and other Asian nations? Primarily gangsters and gangs. Currently, you CAN be arrested and imprisoned for carrying a knife in China (I just checked) so I am glad that the Chinese, with their 5,000 years of wisdom in running a harmonious society, are making the right steps already, but they need to go further if they want to stop the knife violence and knife murders.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me, because the only weapons left were tactical black 440 carbon steel tanto-knife blades, and the badass ninjas (practioners of ninjutsu, which is the Japanese word for ninja) who own them are under a vow of silence.

I think something needs to be done about all these fully automatic knives. The majority of them can be used to stab multiple people with a single touch of the handle. Perhaps we could ban all knives, but permit properly trained law enforcement officers to use single-use knives that fall out of their hands after being used and have to be picked up again. The military could use semi-automatic knives, which would have a cord tied to them so they wouldn't fall all the way to the ground before being touched again. And why are knives infinity capacity weapons? If you use a knife once the blade should fall off. People should only be able to carry 2 replacement blades at a time. They would have to replace each blade manually of course. And no assault (black handled) knives. Wooden or marshmallow handles only.
