Something has to be done

First crazed Muslim terrorists some people used box cutters and exacto-type knives on 9/11. Now one (or two) people used a box cutter or exacto-type knife to stab and cut 14 people on a Texas college campus. It is clear the only solution is a national database of knife owners. A limit of two blades for such knives must be imposed. The "loan your neighbor your box cutter" loophole must be closed. Anyone caught buying an exacto-type knife for their kid's model building hobby will serve a minimum of 100 years in prison. It is for the children.  We can no longer tolerate such brazen acts of knife violence against the children of this country.

When we get a list of knife owners the violence will stop. A background check will put a halt to the senseless killing.

Unnamed sources in the Obama administration confide that no private citizen needs such heinous blades.  A recycling center can handle your box-cutting needs. Homeland Security is writing proposed regulations to present to Congress in the coming weeks.

"There are people who cling to their utility knives, that have several in their tool boxes, garden shed and kitchen drawers. No one needs more than one of these knives.  The hawk-billed (or hook shaped) assault knives must be banned outright. Outside of roofing and cutting sod, no one needs one of these dangerous killing machines" said a Democrat Congresswoman from California.

I have contacted my local police department to see if they have instituted a buy-back program. I have dozens of these dangerous knives (most missing blades) and I do not want my children exposed.  Imagine, one of mine is made from black plastic, and we all know anything made from black plastic is scary and should be banned.

Join with me in a dozen dad march on Washington.  Our voices will be heard.  Ban these killers now.

Hilarious--the hundredth sarcastic rightie post I've seen about banning knives after the Texas stabbing rampage.

Now tell me this: think this would have happened without a gun?

If guns don't kill people, but people kill people, who killed that woman? Who is responsible?

Oh right. I forgot. Whenever there's an "accidental" shooting, it's no one fault. The gun practically went off all by itself! We all say words like sad and tragic, and cast down our eyes. We never say things like negligent.

of course it was negligent. The person who let a four year old handle a loaded gun should be charged.

I suspect you will have a hard time finding any gun owner who would disagree.

BTW -- which background check, which ownership list, which assault weapon ban, what waiting period, or magazine restriction would have prevented this?

"He took all the precautions, he's a trained law enforcement officer, trains with weapons all the time."

Obviously by leaving a loaded weapon laying out on his bed he didn't take all the precautions.

He also apparently didn't talk to his younger relatives about gun safety. Something that as a police officer and an uncle who collects guns he should have done.

This is right up there with the people who run over their own kids in their driveway, except a different person dies.

Joe, it was the ban against people with relatives buying guns that would prevent this.

Will there be doughnuts on the march?

If x-acto knives are outlawed only art teachers will have x-acto knives!!!


I'll give up my x-acto knife when they pry it from my cold, dead, paint encrusted, slightly arthritic hands!

Buddha, beer and boxcutters made America free! (I might be wrong on this one.)

It is amazing how many of these nutbags seem to be "We are the world except for you, you and you" types.

By which I mean, politically to the left. You know. The common clay of the new West.

March on Washington DC? Why not Daytona-the weather is better there.
I'm keeping my Benchmade.

lol @ Ed.

Really. It's time to stop blaming the gun and place it squarely on the "crazy" where it belongs.

When can we concentrate on that?

Woodman said...

How about we focus on "evil"?

There are bad people out there. Not all of them identify as crazy, but like pornography, I know evil when I see it.

Calling them crazy avoids arguments and it's a nice shortcut. But really, some of these people have been sane as a door post. Any craziness seems to be their assumed superiority to everyone around them shown by their lack of planning.

I demand a registry of all knife owners. And a microchip embedded in all knives sold to identify ownership. And a limit on how many knives or spare blades one can own. And mandatory liability insurance for all knife owners. And a requirement that felons and the mentally ill only be allowed to use plastic sporks...

Quit being sarcastic! Sarcasm gives the left new ideas. In Britain, the gun ban caused a spike in attacks and violent crime like home invasions. The wily Brits just shrugged their shoulders and, since they couldn't shoot the Disadvantaged Urban Yoots®, went to swords, machetes, and long knives and proceeded to turn them into chum for the fish in the Thames, successfully enough that Parliament noticed, decided Something Must be Done, and is now looking at regulating the kind of kitchen cutlery its subjects are allowed to own.
