So when are they going to ban fists? Fists have always been a deadly weapon. One properly placed punch is all it takes.It doesn't work. This is what the UK did. You can't buy knives over the internet. Some shops won't sell single knives only sets. Others have stopped selling altogether. Trying to stop criminals getting knives is like trying to stop walkers picking up seashells from a beach. What's next, a knife safe in every kitchen to stop burglary theft?
In the UK it always has been illegal to carry a knife, but now it carries up to 4 years in prison for a knife with a blade of over 3 inches (I think) without good reason for it's carry eg. going to a job that requires a knife as a tool. EVen then, you may get charged with carrying and have to prove good reason in a Court. You can't even carry a knife in your car tool kit now or if you go fishing. Some might say good reason and you might get away with it. However, if you could use scissors instead or a wire stripper to strip / cut wire, it's equally unlikely to be a good reason.
Has it worked? Hell no. Recently there have been 4 or 5 high profile stabbings / murders a week and that's only the ones that make the news.
Problem is the left wing snowflakes believe in banning everything. It's like cancel culture.Anything they don't like, ban it. That's the answer. The problem is it often isn't.
Not sure on the dates of all of these but this is a quick search of "stabbing" on a UK Newspaper:

Morons in government, they only want votes from the snowflakes that fall for such idiocy.
