Let's cut the crap about the knife being a less deadly weapon.
"There are no dangerous weapons, only dangerous people." This was quoted in another post, and it seems quite appropriate. I can understand why a native of Colorado would be upset aobut gun violence, but I go to school with a kid that shot his own brother in the head during an argument. Right, he still goes here.
What you people who are actually against the @nd Amendment are afraid of is that some psycho is going to open fire on some public place while you or a loved one is there. If that happens, do you a person with a CCW and a 10mm sitting next to you, or the president of Handgun Control, Inc?
Be realistic. Banning guns reduces crime about as much as banning kleenex reduces sickness.
