Ah crap.
Read the comments... OMG...
Washington Post said:"In some places, such as the District, the knife now surpasses the gun as the weapon most commonly used in reported assaults. In the past six months, from September to Feb. 26, there were 397 reported assaults with knives, compared with 278 with guns. This year, there have been more than 110 reported knife assaults and 73 with guns."

And we shall refer them to England, where guns/knives are illegal. Following them, assaults with pint mugs skyrocketed and led to glass pints being banned in favor of plastic.
