Deaths and assaults by knife jumped dramatically after the ban on guns. In the USthe liberals hate guns and blame them on everything. The right doesnt even want background checks because they are assholes and just want to piss off the liberals. In reality more people die in car accidents every year than by gun violence and mass shotings like what happened in Vegas are even more rare. The terror attack on Sept 11th killed more people than Sandy Hook, Florida night club, colombine and Vegas put together.

Did knife assaults and death go up by an equatable number compared to the reduction in deaths and assaults by guns?   In other words, was there a net positve in the number of lives saved?

I dont have an exact number for you but according to this article knife related attacks increased by over 10%. Gun crimes went down (obviously ) but they are still responsible for a decent percentage of murders.
