But again that isn't the issue, it's the person holding the knife or the gun is the issue in all scenarios.
Also it really depends on the determination. If someone comes at me with a knife and I'm unarmed and not trained in self defense, I'm going to die if they want me dead.
Your ancestral ethnicity is meaningless beyond being something to be personally interested in.

Completely untrue. There are infinitely more ways to defend oneself against a wielded knife than a drawn gun at range. Take into account the basic concepts of physical size and strength, both of which are rendered meaningless by guns at range, but can easily mean overpowering a knife-wielding assailant.
If a scrawny teenager tries to kill a 6'+ grown man who is aware of what's happening with a knife it's very likely that the teen will fail to kill the man and be disarmed through the sheer difference in strength. If that scrawny teenager tries to kill the same man with a gun at range, the man is likely going to get shot and killed.
There is a reason that guns are the weapon of choice for criminals - they are the best equalizers. They give the most power, and they can give it to the weakest of people.

I never said it was impossible, but personally I don't know krav maga so I don't know if I would be able to win that fight.. Also you're comparing two very differently powered people. An average adult male with a knife vs an average adult male without a knife isn't a fair fight.
If you have to make imbalanced scenarios for the person to win, then you know your argument is flimsy at best.
And again banning guns doesn't take guns away from criminals, so it doesn't matter.
I agree that guns are a better killing tool, Knives are better killing tools than pencils too, my arguement is guns alone aren't dangerous, it's the people using them.
I do support stricter laws to keep guns away from unstable people and criminals.
I don't support disarming law abiding citizens.

Yes it is the issue.
You can't know what a person is like, psychological tests don't mean shit.
But you know what a weapon is like. You know a gun makes it easy peasy to kill someone. So you fucking ban guns.
No, not really. You can run.If someone comes at me with a knife and I'm unarmed and not trained in self defense, I'm going to die if they want me dead.
It's pretty hard to run with a knife and stab someone while running. A guy with a knife also can't take on a group of people if they fight back. Pistol, very much possible.
With a pistol, you can just shoot the running person.
Again the vast majority of gun deaths come from gangs, not random passion killings. So banning guns doesn't stop the majority.
For how long? How determined is the person with the knife?
What happens when they catch up or you can't run any more?

Thank you for not responding to the last part of my post, it's easier to perpetuate your narrative when you exclude half of my statement.
Maybe we could all learn something from the high population countries that have the lowest rates of violent crime.
I doubt Europe has gang issues like the US has so that's irrelevant.Again the vast majority of gun deaths come from gangs, not random passion killings. So banning guns doesn't stop the majority.
Quite a bit. Long enough that you run into help.For how long? How determined is the person with the knife?
One guy with a knife isn't that hard to take on by a group of people.
You're using ifs or buts but the simple fact here is that it's much easier to kill with a gun. It also has no practical use, while a knife has plenty. Guns were just made to kill people.
Hey look, another reasonable post stating the truth with the OP being banned.
Ho and the second post agreeing with him is also banned.
Nice.
I'll just post that here for the Americans (and Canadians) in deny of the reality over here :
What truth? This self produced chart has been at the same level for the past 15 years. There is no increased levels of fear amongst people in Sweden. But then you don't actually care about the truth do you? Rather have some bullshit narrative to push.
(p.s if the OP doesn't want to get banned he should probably stop calling other nations "savages that need to be ended.")
It doesn't matter if Sweden is one of the safest countries in the world as long as people feel unsafe then facts don't matter, right? God. The rightfeelers are at it again with their fragile feelings.
I have a love/hate relationship with fika. I do like a bit of cake, but i've put on about an extra 8kg since moving to Sweden.....
It's great. Not so great when you tell people back in England and they think you're an absolute wrong'un.

we on the south europe are proud of your Northern Europe system and countries please dont let fear destroy this .... Always remember fear is the worst enemy
if you dont conquer you fears you will become like us and then theres no hope........
You gave a blanket statement and i refuted it with hypothetical examples. That they were mismatched examples was entirely the point, because it demonstrated how incorrect you were.
You didn't clarify anything about the nature of the attacker or the victim. The fact is that even a paraplegic with a gun can still kill someone easily, while they cannot do the same with a knife. Guns can inflict damage more easily, from a safer range, even by people who are physically frail.Also it really depends on the determination. If someone comes at me with a knife and I'm unarmed and not trained in self defense, I'm going to die if they want me dead.

You proved me wrong by strawmanning? You can't be serious.
Yet knives can still kill people. Again the issue is the person not the weapon. If the paraplegic peron was in a motorized scooter I wouldnt be able to out run him if he had a knife anyways. Ban mobility scooters.
