do you think every shitty Albanian with hair growing underneath their tongue is going to just get a $2000 gun instead of a knife to kill someone?
a filed off gun without a serial number and not registered with the government can get you life in jail in some countries in Europe, it's just that regulated so why even bother?
if they catch you with knife they might give you a sausage and they'll be none the wiser
