You can also cut yourself with a kitchen knife but nobody proposes banning kitchen knives. Google and the state are not your nannies.

Laws protect people from being hurt by others, keeping society safe and fair for everyone.

oh nice, i love this game.
you cant carry a kitchen knife that is too long, you cant carry your kitchen knife into a school, you cant brandish your kitchen knife at police, you cant let a small child run around with a kitchen knife...
literally most of what "the state" does is be a "nanny"
(not agreeing or disagreeing with google here, i have no horse in this particular race. but this little knife quip is silly when you think about it for more than 5 seconds)
