Yes knives *could* kill

Because we need knives to butter our toast.

Apples and oranges here.  There are benefits to having knives.  They are a
tool which we need in our daily lives.  Unless you hunt, you don't need a
gun.

Like I said, knives make our lives easier.  Guns make our lives worse.

I was being sarcastic.  However here in Canada they don't sell guns at
K-Mart as far as I know.  Mostly clothes and electronics.
