The wise Dawkind is correct. Don't think a two inch blade couldn't fuçk someone up; and would this (size of blade) really matter if the victim is unarmed? But the best way to avoid injury is just to be cool and back down, no matter how stupid you may feel.

Howdy, The ideas behind the Constitution were to give as much freedom to the people as possible and if they feel they are being led by a corrupt government, the power to over throw it. The guns that our founding fathers owned were MILITARY weapons and the majority of the founding fathers did NOT hunt. How can we have the power to over throw the government if the government takes away the right to own weapons similar to theirs. I don't know about you but I'd rather fight a enemy that has an M16 with my own AK-47 than with a pistol or shotgun. And the majority of gun crimes are committed with hunting-style weapons or small caliber handguns such as .22s.
This is why people get upset when so called "assault rifles" are banned. Most assault rifles are deemed so because of a 2-3 inch piece of metal on the end of the barrel called a flash suppressor. And some because of a bayonett lug. The media seems to refer to every rifle as an automatic assault rifle. The assault rifle part is usually incorrect and refering to a gun as automatic gives the uninformed the idea that it is FULL auto rather than semi.
If you give an inch, they take a mile.

All true 'assualt rifles' are selective fire and have been the most highly restricted firearms in the USA since the National Firearms Act of 1934. There HAS NEVER been a crime commited with a registered and licensed full-automatic weapon, EVER! One of the original 'modern day' Olympic sports is shooting but the media won't put it on display!?! IMHO most of the blame for our loss of our rights and freedoms can be directly attributed to a few individuals, spin-doctors, that control the media, i.e., Time-Warner, CBS, NBC, ABC, and on and on.......When was the last time you remember seeing fencing, shooting, archery, etc. on any news channel that wasn't there because of some type of violent activity??? It's disgusting; talk about being biased...
