Who knows, with easier access to guns, the total number of attempted murders could of rose, so the argument is kind of moot.
Plus, it's attempted murders, one would assume that guns have a higher success rate than knives when it comes to murdering. The murderer is also much more likely to get caught with knife crime, as it has to be done in close proximity, perhaps leaving DNA, etc.
