The Bureau of Justice Statistics stated that for the period between 1993 to 2001, 10% of all violent crimes involved a firearm and 6% of all violent crimes involved a knife.
A more recent report, 2009, by the Department of Justice stated: “Of the aggravated assault offenses in 2009 for which law enforcement agencies provided expanded data, 26.9 percent were committed with hands, fists, and feet; 20.9 percent were committed with firearms; and 18.7 percent were committed with knives or cutting instruments.”
In Great Britain, where gun control is very strict, they report that a crime involving a knife happens every 24 minutes.
So why isn’t anyone calling for knife control laws? Statistically, they are being used almost as often as guns to commit crimes. [Are Tasers next?]
