This is a completely useless statistic unless you pair it with effectiveness or ratio of victim vs perpetrator.
The argument is knives are harder to commit mass murders with vs a gun. Of course knives will be more popular globally because other countries control access to guns.

If we’re talking hypothetically then the knife. Preferably one that I can pull quickly like a switch blade. Guns are too hard to pull on someone rapidly closing distance on you in the case of a completely random attack and while a knife is chaotic, at least I’ll be able to use it at close range.

If you had someone attacking you would you want them to have a knife or a gun?

Attempting to minimize death and harm is usually a good governing policy

I guarantee you if guns were involved that body count would be way higher

In other words, if you're an animal you'd better be either cute or beneficial to human agriculture or you're fucked.

You should honestly drive like that permanently.

Oh man and further, knives are just way more accessible than guns are in general. Every kitchen in a household has a knife. Not everyone owns a gun and yet the fact that it accounts for 41 percent of global violence is not the defense you think it is
