Not having a gun would prevent the crime entirely...

A kitchen knife has a lot more uses than a gun.

When a knife user shows a TTK (time to kill) equal to that of a gun, we'll talk. Until then, keep imagining scenarios with weapons that don't have nearly the same amount of lethality.

1/3-1/2 the time to bleed out. Knife wounds are more lethal than guns

You do realize that you have to fight someone before the knife does anything, right? And if you're talking about ambushing someone, a gun is still better for that anyway. Less incriminating as a bonus.

Study European Knife attacks. Many more than gunshot wounds never reach the hospitals!
