You’re good. I don’t mean to downplay the importance of tackling knife crime, but my view is just that it ultimately stems from economic inequality, rather than it being too easy to get knives or whatever. People in jail get stabbed too, after all.
That’s fair. I don’t have the knowledge to back it up but I would assume that a reduction in knife-based hospitalisations represents a reduction in gang violence even if there is still a lot of individual knife crime.

I’m no expert, but it seems IDing me for a seam ripper hasn’t solved the issue.
