    Japan does. See the swords and firearms act. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Do I think some of it is dumb? Yep. Does it give a framework for handling people carrying types and/or lengths of blades in a way that punishes them more harshly and discourages people? It sure seems like it.

      Yup. Japan has a knife homicide rates pretty much as low as the UK and Monaco. Clearly they’re doing something right.
