Technically, no. Both tools that can really hurt you if you are not careful. Also, some dude just killed a bunch of young kids at a birthday party with one.

Both are tools that can be used by whackos as weapons to hurt and/or kill a large number of people. Look at all the knife attacks and murders in Japan.

My chef knife is high end German made with an 8" blade and is sharp as a razor.

Guns are built with the express purpose to maim and kill. Kitchen knives are not. No comparison, "technical" or otherwise.

The psychological barriers to stabbing someone are much, much bigger than shooting them.
Sticking a knife into someone, feeling their flesh part, hearing their bones crackle... Disgusting.
Pulling a trigger? Chill.

Nope. Most people own guns their entire lives without maiming or killing anyone. They're both tools. I could kill you with a baseball bat, a golf club, a rope, as well any one of the number of cooking and sporting knives I own.

Let's agree to disagree and both move on. Neither of us is going to budge.

Grindy ever see what a 9MM hollow point bullet does to a person? The results are as gory and messy as any knife wound.

What are guns used for apart from maiming and killing? The "tool" argument holds zero water, especially if you're going to be touting how safe guns are.

I don't know about you, but I chop a whole lot of vegetables with guns.
