They are right about one thing: if you have no weapon to defend yourself with, it can’t be “turned on you.” They don’t seem to realize that the alternative is worse. If your attacker is able to take your weapon from you, they’re probably able to kill you if you’re unarmed. I suppose next they’ll be collecting all rocks, canes, cricket bats, skate boards, etc. I’m sure all the 120 pound girls feel much safer now that the 220 pound rapists don’t have a knife to use against them. They’re on equal footing now! And we know the rapists, muggers, and murders would never violate the knife ban–that would be breaking the law!
