If someone really wants to kill someone else, of course they’ll find a way. The idea is to raise the barrier to make it more difficult, maybe prevent those deaths where the killer lose their head for a moment.

Like in a Taylor Swift dance class?
There are a ton of things in a kitchen where a point is needed to cut things. Requiring the blunts to be dull means a lot of home sharpening so the knives are useful in the kitchen. Her emotional reaction is valid, but the proposed solution is stupid.

I can are we forgetting about the rest of the blade? This is like putting foam on your bumper in case you hit someone. It’s performative and does nothing in reality. Like you said, if they want to kill someone a blunt tip won’t stop them, they literally have the rest of the knife.
