Ah, so guaranteeing the patriarch has access to firearms is really an act of mercy for his victims.

But why guns? What about syringes of phenol? Make sure each man has one for each family member so he can perform painless honor killings. This seems like something a healthy society would do.

People are much less likely to actually use knives than guns. And if they do, their target has a greater chance to get away.

Guns are either kept in a locked box/rack, or on you/close at hand.

Knives are found in the kitchen. Ive never seen anyone put down a gun in the kitchen and just walk away from it for half a day
