Do butter knives have to be registered, too?

so why aren’t the perps identified and arrested?

Because that would be racist. The cops involved would likely be fired, and might face criminal prosecution.

The USA certainly doesn’t have the corner on idiot legislators.

My ex once went after me with one of those little wire and roller cheese slicers.

You could take a person down with one of those.

One layer at a time

Proving that the problem isn't the tool - be it a firearm or a knife. The problem is the intent of the person carrying it. You cannot legislate safety, cannot write a law that stops evil intent. The shocking (to liberals) truth is that people actually have to take a little personal responsibility for their own safety. I know I know, the phrase "personal responsibility" makes the libtard snowflakes run for their safe space...

Guess what, Mr. Colt was right about the great equalizer. Want to give your 105 lb wife a fighting chance against the 6'4" 200+ lb would-be rapist? Put a firearm in her hand, train her how to use it, and make sure she has it with her all the time.

Official sounding man on phone: “Sir, the government has just detected - via GPS - that your 3-inch, stainless steel, butter knife has been moved from it’s secure silverware drawer, to your kitchen table...can you explain?”

“Yes”, replied the homeowner, “we’re having dinner and want to put butter on our bread.”.

Fed guy, “Thank you sir, and I’ll be looking for your 4561-1265 form - in triplicate - further explaining this incident, and signed by you, and all those who had contact with said butter knife. Have a good evening.”

What about forks?

Will they also outlaw "Spooning"? How about pre-marital interdigitation? They are getting crazier and crazier.
