Can't argue with that logic - Fox co-hosts making planes/knives/guns comparisons

DIAMOND (CO-HOST): And see the way we feel, one of the biggest mass killings happened right here in the United States. With 9/11. Where over 3,000 people lost their lives -- innocent people. Now do we implement anti-plane laws? Do we get rid of planes?

SILK (CO-HOST): Do we?

DIAMOND: When somebody pick up a knife and start stabbing up people, do we get rid of knives?

SILK: Do we?

DIAMOND: And in all of these scenarios, somebody has to pick up something. Criminals don’t care about no background checks.

SILK: No they don’t.

None of the gun control regulations will stop all gun violence. But it will probably stop some, and in the cases of restrictions to assault weapons and clip sizes, reduce the number of casualties.

There is a reason shootings with automatic weapons are extremely rare- it's because we highly restrict access to automatic weapons.
