Guns don’t kill people — people feel safer with them.

Via Instapundit, this article seems to indicate that knife assaults (or at least assaults by people using knives) are way up in the Australian state of Victoria.
Australia banned from private ownership just about every type of gun several years ago.
I wonder if they’d have less crime if people were allowed to protect themselves with handguns?
I don’t think there would be much argument there.
