The Black Vault

Actually there are laws about knives that are not really talked about, because they are not an issue. When I was a kid, every boy had a pocket knife collection, and we all played games like "Mumblypeg" with them, and nobody ever thought about stabbing anyone. Swiss army knives were in all sizes. Every kid dreamed about have a switchblade but they were illegal. You could buy them in Mexico. I as OK to have a pocket knife under about a 4" blade, but now schools have zero tolerance for what use to be a harmless thing. They consider any knife a weapon, and take even the smallest very serious.

It was not uncommon for workers to carry a hunting knife in a sheath on his belt. Those can not be carried in most cities. Blade lengths over certain lengths are not allowed many places in folding knives. Not sure about the laws concerning machetes, even if you are a licensed gardener.

I understand your point, and its well taken. I would not recommend walking into the police department with a meat clever.

Unfortunately, Guns will be blamed for this incident. Not the psychopath behind them.

I am just wondering, if a guy goes around stabbing 20 people with a butcher's knife, will they also ban the butcher's knife?

The answer is Yes

I think pregnancy should be banned because it results in death 100% of the time eventually.

Sweeping new gun laws proposed by influential liberal think tank

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/ ... story.html

CAP’s top recommendation is to require criminal background checks for all gun sales, closing loopholes that currently enables an estimated 40 percent of sales to occur without any questions asked. The organization also wants to add convicted stalkers and suspected terrorists to the list of those barred from purchasing firearms.

Well, well well. All they have to do now to take your guns away is suspect you of terrorism!

Works perfectly with the NDAA and the Patriot Act. The guys up top point and say, "He's a terrorist I think!" and boom, no more guns.

Finally your coming around .... the whole if they ban my guns what's next has always been a flawed argument .....
(( like iv been saying ))

Guns should be restricted in certain circumstances ..... just like knives, poisons & chemicals. & other such products. even foods are legislated & restricted.

Guns are no different.
