![]() think the hyperbole is on your side on this one. 374 deaths cause an outright ban on an object?

![]() Been saying that for years: if hammers/clubs/knives/swords are so effective for killing, then they are plenty effective for self-defense too, and we can confiscate and melt down ALL the guns currently in civilian hands. --

![]() That is why guns are called equalizers.
The boy bought me a knife for Christmas. It was the one recommended by my PWW. PWW then shows me how to carry it, hold it, etc, for best "safest" (here, hold it this way, the only thing an attacker can do is sweep against your femoral artery, which is far better than any other way of holding it, which could twist to my neck). It will be years of training before it is anything other than a prop to be used against me. It requires face to face closeness. Not even close. |
|
![]() It should take years to MASTER.
But it should take less than a few months before you become (very) effective with it (particularly against someone who is untrained). (Think OJ Simpson for a second) But the base problem with a knife is that it is (*) a melee weapon rather than a range weapon...you have to be close to your opponent. Anyone with a range weapon had the possibility to kill you before you close with them. (*) Throwing knives aside. |
|
![]() Point is the NRA keeps saying (essentially), "Why go after guns when there are all these knives?"
Saying that knives are comparable to guns is their argument. Do they mean it or not? --

![]() since no matter what they say, they lie by default. They have a mission, and they will adhere to it. The truth does not matter.
Just commenting on the difference. |
|
![]() ...does that make them, in their arbitrary and in no way based on merit redistribution of deadly force, the weapon of choice of...
...the COMMUNISTS? |

Following is a summary of the 2013 legislation: That's just Feinstein's bill. Biden's group will address more than that. Big changes are coming. Finally. Cheers, Scott. |
