Even if you do manage to get that close, you still have to not get it stuck on a rib or other bone, since a knife will have more trouble penetrating through the body than a bullet. You run the risk of getting covered in blood, which is just one more possible trail of evidence. And this is all just off the top of my head. If you honestly can't see how a gun makes killing someone easier, then I can't help you.

you know how gang members stab people without being identified? they were colored scarves repping their gang. They usually have one in their back pocket and if something has to go down then they just tie it over their face and leave their eyes open

yes because your personal anecdotal experience speaks for the entire country and latter part of your statement is a bit of my point based off of what Vanilla was saying earlier.
Some people seem to think that taking away guns will change things and they will be safer without guns around but that's not the case at all.
People outside of America going around using examples about their country and saying well if it's safer here with strict gun laws then it should work for America true which is faulty logic based off of our violent culture as a whole more so related to gang activity.
