>Knives kill via exsanguination just like bullets
Firstly no retard, exsanguination is only a secondary effect of bullets absolutely obliterating bones and vital organs. Second, velocity of most bullets causes them to cause more damage than a normal sized knife. Third, most of all most shootings not directly to the face or heart or using powerful rounds from a long arm require 5 or 6 shots at least to instantly disable an enemy.
>Knives have historically been incredibly popular weapons and even today the FBI's murder statistics place them second only to firearms which are the current pinnacle of personal weapon technology
Because they're small, also a useful tool, can be easily concealed, and most importantly for statistics, EVERYONE already has one. Anyone going to war should have a knife for their utility alone, but they should only be used as a weapon under desperate circumstances with no other options. They have NEVER been used as primary weapons outside of shady ambushes in tight spaces, and theres a reason for this.

If you unironically think that a dainty little knife is even close to as effective as something like pic related that in one swing can utterly destroy a limb, split a human skull, completely ruin heart and lungs simultaneously, etc then you're an idiot.

Knives are popular for crime because theyre small, everywhere, and an overwhelming majority of people are stupid like you and don't realize they're not particularly effective.
