We Must Control Knives!

[Kagnew]

The recent stabbing spree in Texas should serve as a wake-up call that we must have more strict control of knives (including box-cutters). Universal background checks should be just the starting point. And, while we're at it, we should take a long, hard look at baseball bats and tire irons, too.

Scissors - they are like two knives in one!

Believe it or not, the safest place I ever worked was where everyone was required to carry a knife.

Don't worry, we have people working on it.

If you go banning scissors, how the hell are we supposed to protect ourselves in an office shooting?
what we should be more concerned with is this hammer situation... i mean. think of the children.

 

[ghuns]

What we need is commonsense knife law reform. It's for the children after all. If we can save only one life...

 

[Wdsman11]

It's the hammers! I tell you, the hammers, they are the root of all evil.

 

[Tombs]

It's still mind boggling to me that Indiana is one of the few states that seems to think a thumb stud on a knife is more deadly than a button.

Oh the special edition benchmades I've had to pass up....

Does no one recognize the dangers of common box cutters!! These things are everywhere and the worst part is they are RELOADABLE. They need to be made un-reloadable, maybe even welded. If we can't control them we need common sense laws preventing blade purchases and background checks and FRL (federal razor licensing) checks. Why can't people just use kids safety scissors! These box cutters have no place in the hands of anyone, only the government should regulate them. They know what's best for citizens, right?

Sounds like they want to create victims by working for the criminally insane.

 

[Bennettjh]

Nobody needs these.

Or these high capacity blade holders. 100 blades!!!

And again...

Starting tomorrow, everyone needs to turn in ALL personally owned assault knives. Obviously, knives are MUCH too dangerous for ANY civilian to own!

"Assault knife" is defined as ANY fixed or folding blade knife in the possession of or immediate or remote access to the civilian population including but NOT limited to:

Swords (Adam Lanza had swords, for chrissakes!)
Daggers
Dirks
Axes
Hatchets
Machetes
Combat knives
Bayonets
Automatic knives
Assisted opening knives
Boot knives
Jack knives
Throwing knives
Hunting knives
Fishing knives
Pocket knives
Kitchen knives
Utility knives
Box cutter knives
Workshop knives
Knives in restaurants
Straight razors
Scissors

Note that ALL multi-blade shaving knives (which civilians falsely claim are called 'razors') are ALSO considered knives, and completely unsuitable to be possessed by unknowledgeable civilians

Plastic knives of any composition are strictly prohibited as they are capable of bypassing TSA metal detectors at airports if the 'most effective' TSA Officers do not catch them.

Also note that 'butcher' knives are especially heinous due to the scary use of the word 'butcher' in the description of the knife.

ALSO included are scalpels (which are clearly knives), because Doctors ARE civilians, because what Doctors DO is called 'practice', and NO civilian should be 'practicing' with these dangerous weapons designed SOLELY for the purpose of cutting human flesh!

Civilians MAY possess a non-functioning plastic knife commonly distributed at fast food restaurants IF the blade is 'tempered' at 1600 degrees for 15 minutes; to insure safety.

Pending legislation will be signed by the P.O.S., er... uh... P.O.T.U.S. that will prohibit sharpened pencils.

BUT if they band knifes how will I cut up my steak?

 

[Ngdonut]

Heck I've heard spoons make people fat!!!

Im sure steak will be outlawed on the next "Bloomberg Bill"...

 

[spectre327]

What about paper clips? Bend them the right way and you have a stabbing device that is highly concealable and leaves little evidence behind?
