There is no need for knives in society. As seen in the past, terror attacks using a knife could have easily been avoided if there was no knife. There is no possible way it was the users doing, it was the knife. By removing the knife from society, you remove any and all threat of a knife attack. Granted, there are a few compelling counter arguments to this ban. How will we cut our food? Food can be cut by using a fork, a much safer alternative. Will a ban on the knife actually prevent knife attacks? Yes, of course, everyone obeys laws! It is time the government opens its eyes to the real problem. The people have been calling for knife reform for years and now it is the governments turn to answer the call.
