Anything can if it’s sharp enough. It would difficult to craft a sharp knife out of paper, but it could be done. Cardboard is essentially just harder, thicker paper, and I’ve seen people get some pretty unpleasant scrapes from jagged industrial-strength cardboard. So if someone were actually trying to make a cutting tool out of it, I imagine it would be possible to use it to kill someone. It also wouldn’t be a very effective knife though. It’d have to be a very carefully aimed strike because once paper is wet, it stops holding it’s shape effectively. You wouldn’t get a second shot.

Ever had a book fall onto your foot? Given sufficient paper, it can present a blunt trauma to the body in certain places significant enough to threaten life given sufficient mass and velocity.
So in addition to banning guns, we need to ban knives and even paper, if we follow the insanity of the left. Our we could wisely recognize that the challenges in life lie in surviving, not in banning good people from possessing any potentially lethal threats. We cannot ban everything that we need to survive, and thrive with security, so instead we need to learn to survive by working together and by identifying threats before they emerge.

It depends. Paper can be saturated and mulched, then compressed and formed into a spike which will harden as it dries. Laminates, laquer, paint, sugars, or toothpaste can make it even harder. The point can be sharpened so it will penetrate skin. Prison inmates have made spears in this way to stab people between the bars of their cell. It will hold up for one deep stab into the torso before breaking or softening.
