    I'm not taking a knife to a gun fight.

    Stabbing deaths and injuries are more common in Europe than in the
    Americas. Particularly in northern Europe, where levels of knife crimes
    among young people have increased and made headlines. Deaths by sharp
    objects are especially noticeable in the 15-19 and 20-24 age groups in
    Northern and Western European countries. The proportion of knife deaths is about three times greater than firearm deaths in these countries for the
    20-24 age group. Between 2002 and 2007, hospital admissions for assault by
    a knife or sharp object increased by 34%. One high-profile example of
    homicide by knife in Europe occurred in 2013, when a 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death in the United Kingdom. Her death sparked anti-knife
    campaigns throughout the U.K.
