Well.
If knives are more deadly than firearms.
If you already know how to handle a knife (through the boy scouts or food preparation).
If you already own many knives (in the kitchen, fishing tackle box, shed etc.)
If you don't need a special license to own a knife.
If you don't need to register your knives.
If you don't need special storage requirements for a knife.
If you don't need to spend money and time practicing with a knife.
Why would anyone want a gun?
Seems to me that it would be less efficient to use a gun to defend yourself from an intruder in your house. Get yourself an knife and increase your stopping capabilities by nearly double!
Unless there is another reason you particularly want a gun.
Jislizard,
I never thought of it like that, very good points.
Not meaning to be picky and just expanding on the excellent points you raise,
A gun can jam at the most inapropriate times, a knife can not have stoppages therefore a knife is more reliable than a firearm which increases your chances of successfully protecting yourself and your family,
A knife only costs say $10 so you could have more than one knife,
A knife cost basically nothing where as a good quality reliable firearm costs $400 up to over a thousand. The money saved by using a knife means you can spend more on good quality locks for your doors, cameras, a safe room etc.
Knives are easier to train your kids with in regards to safety,
With bullets they go through walls and could cause injury to bystanders for example, that problem is eliminated with knives,
There is no ammuniton with a knife compared to a gun, ammunition is expensive so you therfore save money using a knife.
Useing Yennus's and the other pro freedumb people's logic you are spot on the money. That should make perfect sense to them when you look at it from their point of view.
