Ban knives, yes, and forks too. Hell, go the whole hog and ban spoons as well

How many young men are killed by home made nuclear weapons every year?

Anybody get the feeling this logic may be flawed?

Carrying knives in inappropriate circumstances is already banned it's called "being in possession of an offensive weapon".

But you can't just ban knives, many people need to use them on a daily basis from carpenters, butchers carpet fitters the list is endless.

That's why there has to be a context test.

Similarly cars - obviously things would come to a rapid grinding halt.

You can only ban things that have no (or almost no) legitimate use such as hand guns

I don't think you can equate the two, unless the car drivers deliberately use the car as a weapon.

With cars you ban the driver, not the car.
