idk it’s an interesting conversation to have, but it’s also like saying that owning swords should be illegal or at the very least highly regulated because they can be dangerous.
I don’t have a fundamental problem with people owning guns, or dangerous things, i have a fundamental problem with people who have a violent history getting access to guns however.
A sword is nowhere near as dangerous as a gun, Evan a pistol. A pistol can kill from many feet away, a sword you need to be close. Just because something is dangerous doesn’t mean it should be banned, but when you get to a certain level of danger, such as guns, where you could kill 10 people in a second, then they need to be banned. Even pistols are way to dangerous. Also, swords are highly regulated in some states.
yeah, that’s not my point though, do you think swords were designed to sit on a wall and look pretty? They were an instrument of war.
My point is pretty explicit. Also, melee weapons, in particular ranged melee weapons can be incredibly dangerous. You need to be close sure, but you can be behind someone, or they could simply not be paying attention, or you could be concealing a knife as you walk past someone for instance. Technically you can do it with a gun also, but a knife is vastly easier to control.
Likely not as dangerous, but idk how good those stats would be to begin with, a well placed knife wound can fuck someone up proper. Even a center of mass shot with a gun can be trivial to survive.
Also i’m pretty sure 10 a second is hyperbolic, 1 per second i suppose.

im pretty sure most states highly regulate guns as well, there are a few that have pretty lax carry laws. But it’s questionable how much impact those have.
Then again, an assault rifle can fire roughly ten rounds a second, and you’d have great difficulty stabbing ten people every second with a sword, there is a difference in dangerousness

you would have incredible difficulty in landing ten rounds per second, into ten different people, per second. Especially from distance.
