Anyways, if you assume that only 0.01% of people are highly likely to do something like this then there are tens of thousands of people who are at risk in (pretty much) every country. I'm personally not surprised that this happens, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. |
Actually, there are bans and rstrictions on knives. There has to be a certain proportion between knife and handle for it to be legal, switchblades cannot be over a certain size, and butterfly knives are illegal. It's all to prevent knives that can be easily concealed and deadly--obviously it's a lot harder to carry around a knife with a bigass handle if you want to suprise and mug them. It's, you know, why you don't see thugs going around with machetes or kicthen knives. Too cumbersome.
