Do We Need "Knife Control?"

That question was asked in a report about yet another knife attack, as a ludicrous question. If somebody wants to kill and can’t get a knife, they will use a baseball bat; or a tree branch; or they’ll run over their victim with a car! They WILL find a way! Obviously, you can’t “control” knives like you do guns. Knives are all over the place, and are useful tools (like baseball bats) for many professions other than killing, including butchery and surgery. I even have a two-ended weight sold as a page holder  in a book store, but which would be an excellent SAP. Metal flashlights are excellent tools to brain someone, but laws aren’t made to make them a weapon. And we ALREADY have “knife control laws.” I’ve long known I was not allowed to go around carrying a knife with a blade longer than 3 inches (with which I could still kill someone). But I don’t think that law (or regulation) has stopped a SINGLE knife attack. Knives are a useful TOOL and not to be banned, in any way. So are guns. But the anti-gun fools aren’t so ignorant about knives BECAUSE they are a recognized tool. (Last Resistance)
