Just one ask: Let’s keep the conversation limited to knives/knife-like objects, and leave firearms out of this one.
I was inspired to start this thread by a recent post by Yo Mama called “Knife discrimination” where the topic of knife laws and knife control were discussed.
I suspect that the vast majority of folks on this forum would agree that at least some states in the U.S. have too many legal restrictions on knives, but I’m curious what people think specifically about the laws around knives.
For the record, I think that generally knife restrictions are silly, however I think it’s reasonable to restrict knives in certain VERY limited circumstances. I think they probably shouldn’t be allowed in prisons or courtrooms, and given how violent our society has become I don’t think I’d argue against restrictions in at least some schools, but I can’t come up with any other restrictions I’d be in favor of at the moment.
What do you fine people think?
