The majority of fatal stabbings (homicides) aren't committed with aggressive hunting or military-style knives. They're committed with common kitchen knives--and EVERYONE has a bunch of them, and they're NEVER "secured". Neither is that 5lb ball-peen hammer or 18" pipe wrench just lying on my workbench.
Most homicides aren't the result of "elaborate planning" like observed with these mass-murderers/school-shooters. They are un-planned "impulse" kills.
Sure--the BIG headlines always read "mass-shooter suddenly opens fire at a school/mall/employer/church, killing/wounding XX# of people". Then (a week or so later) investigators "discover" all of their plans/intentions that were "hidden in plain-site" all-along. No one gives a shit about one woman stabbed or beaten to death by her drunk boyfriend/husband/ex during a domestic disturbance--might not even get an honorable mention on the news.
Weapons (any type of weapon) don't kill people--people kill people. Hell--I've got enough ammonium nitrate fertilizer and diesel fuel out in the barns to take-out a city block (if I were so-inclined). I work on a lot of my own electronics, so I've got the skills, and enough spare parts/discarded devices to whip-up a detonation system in a couple hours.
