It makes me super sad when people clamor to give up rights.
What rights? Voting is a right, free-speech is a right, carrying a knife isn’t a right.

what’s being done to address why people want to stab other people to death?
Were humans, I’m afraid that comes as part of the package. Although things are being done anyway.

I doubt that access to knives is the reason people stab one another.
It’s quite difficult to stab each other without knives.

Ask Londoners if they feel safe with people getting stabbed every night
Broadly speaking the answer would be yes. London is one of the most populous cities in the world. One murder is statistically tiny and no danger to the majority but one is still far too many.
Except it’s 36 fatal stabbings so far this year in London.
“Except”? I never said it wasn’t 36, I never mentioned numbers.
EDIT: Oh I see what you meant. You thought I was saying one murder in the whole year, and not one murder a day, or whatever the exact average was. Seems like trying really hard to go through what I said and find something to misunderstand, so the rest can be ignored. Apologies if I wasn’t clear.
