Loulabelle,

It would seem that for you the only acceptable number is zero. If so, then you will need to campaign for the private ownership of knives to also be made illegal in the UK (The Firearms (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1997), as they are the weapon of choice.

There are several times more knife-related killings as firearms-related killings. The same holds true for the Use of weapons in violent incidents. I refer here to Crime in England and Wales 2006/07 page 63 & Table 3.05, produced by the Research, Development and Statistics Directorate for the Home Office.
