What is extremely rare but people think it's very common?

because guns are by far, with absolutely no compare at all, the largest enabler of violence. Knives, acid, and vehicles are all present in the UK, Australia, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, and so on - and yet, with tight restrictions on guns, the violent crime rate has only gone down. To not ban guns because people will still own knives is absolutely fucking idiotic and shortsighted to an unbelievable degree.

Sorry man... I hate to break it to you, but you're just flat out wrong. Here is a real world, current example proving that maybe gun control isn't the panacea you'd like to think it is.

New York City homicide rate lowest since second World War

Stabbings in the capital have risen 16 per cent in 2018 as knife crime surges across the UK

All your grandstanding, chest beating, and mudslinging falls apart in the face of reality.

You can stammer out a feeble reply if you'd like, but I'm gonna take a break for a while.
