    Yes but the reason I don’t agree with you is that knives, and cars for that matter, serve different purposes:

    • A knife that is safe for the chef will be safe for his guest if operated correctly
    • A guillotine that is safe for the executioner will not be safe for his victim if operated correctly
    • A car that is safe for the driver will be safe for the pedestrian if operated correctly
    • A gun that is safe for the shooter will not be safe for the target if operated correctly

    Do you not see the difference here?

      This difference was the subject of my original comment. I see nothing being stated here beyond truisms.

      The “safety” of those targeted for killing by killing tools or any tools used on purpose for defense or offense is a strange focus. The target of a tool used for killing being killed is not very safe, good observation?
