It appears that fencing lessons and strategy may once again come into vogue in London Town.
People have been trading injuries for thousands of years. Take away one injurious tool, and they will find another, and just continue trading gaping wounds with one another. Before guns, there were swords - and there will be once again, after guns are gone. This is a prime demonstration of that principle. Before swords, there were clubs and spears. take away the swords (as has happened in Ireland to my understanding), and once again clubs and spears will become the tool of choice.
Before spears and clubs, there were rocks and fists. You see where this is going. people intent on ending other people will always find a way, and there will always be people intent on ending other people.
Better to just not give up the weapons one has, learn to use them properly, and secure one's self when he detects that there is about to be imminent violence.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
