There is NO JUSTIFICATION for restricting tools from the people. There is NO JUSTIFICATION for STUPID blanket laws. Such laws are control without reason and a HUGE infringement upon freedoms.
Even if knives are viewed as weapons - and clearly they can be. These weapons can be for DEFENSIVE purposes.
I for one would be VERY upset to loose BOTH my ability to have, carry and use knives as tools AND my ability to have, carry and use WHATEVER I need for my defensive purposes - if the need should ever arise.
Same as guns. The KNIVES are NOT the problem. Knives don't kill. People kill.
I can't believe I read that! :grumpy:
If California or whatever area has a problem with people stabbing, gangs, etc. then maybe the voters in California need to VOTE to increase penalties on those committing the crimes rather than take tools and freedoms away from the inocent. Personally, I am QUITE fine with the death penalty.
If someone takes anothers life and sufficient evidence proves against the accused, don't WASTE my tax dollars on keeping them alive. Kill the POS.
Further, don't provide, food, shelter and other benifits to those who have committed such crimes. I get SICK of reading how prisoners get this and that and don't have to do this or that.... all on our tax money. I don't have money to spare for myself, yet alone to keep criminals and murders happy and healthy.
In the "end", you almost seem to be getting it. Blanket laws do NOT take weapons away from criminals. Such STUPID laws take TOOLS and even defensive weapons if so desired away from those who use them for valid reasons and maybe even for defensive purposes.
The criminals - By Definition - break laws. They WILL have weapons even if such weapons are not legal. DUH! And once stupid laws start taking guns and knives away from citizens, the criminals WILL have it THAT MUCH EASIER - without fear of being harmed when attacking defensless citizens.
Stupid blanket laws attempt to turn us ALL into Sheeple!!!!
