Depends on ideals vs reality I suppose. If no one had guns (yeah right) then there would be no crimes committed with them. That's what the lawmakers are going for, they're just not capable of enforcing it. In reality the criminals will have guns regardless or atleast a knife and their victims aren't currently allowed to carry guns and may not be able to handle a knife.

Interesting...
That is an excellent summation of the entire gun control debate.
