It is not the knives that are the problem, it is the people carrying them. Same as guns. We have a society today with a large portion that can't handle any personal responsibility and don't have the maturity and mental tools at a young age to deal with something that doesn't go their way. Ban the guns, the knives, then what baseball bats, hockey sticks, axes, shovels and rope.
When will we get it through our thick skulls that teaching morals, personal responsibility and ethics will go a lot farther than banning objects while ignoring the real problem.. We need to start raising our kids right instead of letting schools, social media do it.
What is wrong with kids today?...... Mostly lack of parenting and discipline..

This, and perhaps more importantly,
responsibility.
Taking away the opportunity for children and adults to be responsible, often makes them Irresponsible.
