Nobody forgets them.
They are just rational enough to acknowledge the fact that a thug can use one weapon as easily as another, and that banning a weapon bans it for the defender as well as the aggressor, and aggressors run in packs.

” those those vicious punks. punks.”

What do you have against Happy Days?
You think that Mr and Mrs Cunningham were vicious punks?

Mrs Cunningham was a wonderful woman. Always baking cookies and just being a nice mom.

Actually, it was the 50’s Kefauver commission report that sank switchblades. It also drove the ‘Comic Book Authority’ and hounded ‘Mad Magazine.’ Teen violence in East coast cities was rising (but nothing like now or the 60’s) and it was the beginning of American cultural fracturing. As usual, gub’mint freaked out and kneejerked for the vocal minority. Comics were destroying young minds and the next thing ya’ know, they’ll be stabbing your kids in school. Well, they did in the knives and saved America from itself by putting a good housekeeping seal on Mad and comics. Good thing, too, because the 60’s were coming and we all remember how serene they were.

Deal with crime but stay the heck out of freedoms, choice and liberty.
