FRiend, it is an empty gesture, a stupid gesture. It adds weight, however insignificant, to the theme that any object that is used in mayhem must be banned. Now, as you say in another post, if you want one, you can buy it online. I’ll add, at another store or perhaps a pressure cooker and gun show. Hence the emptiness. The problem is, it is putting the focus on the object and not the berk that is using that object for no good. It’s a mindset thing. Men are from Mars, liberals are from Uranus.
Obviously, to you it is, but have you thought that it may not be, to them?
Why does this bother you so much?
