PEOPLE HARM PEOPLE; OBJECTS are merely TOOLS used to inflict harm.

Virtually anything can be used as a tool to harm others - guns, knives, vehicles, baseball bats, 2x4s, metal pipes, garden tools (shovels, hoes, spades, weed diggers, pruning shears), sticks, stones, rocks, forks, lighters, chemicals, gases, drugs, broken glass, plastic bags, bare fists, etc., etc., etc. So, regulating and/or banning one item or one type of item merely necessitates the use of some other tool to influct harm. As such, there would be no end to "safety bans" and everyone's lives would be seriously compromised.

Rather, attack crime by (swiftly, certainly and commensurately with the crime) holding responsible and punishing the PERSONS who commit crimes.
