I've carried a pocket knife daily since I was 8, never thought of it as a weapon. A pocket knife is just a tool. This, I suppose, is a cultural thing, but some cultures obviously see anything as a weapon.
I deeply resent being lumped in with those who abuse liberty, and I deeply resent losing my liberty because of their abuses of liberty.
I know this statement is going to trigger name calling from the liberals, but I no longer care what they call me.
When anyone abuses their freedom they threaten everyone's freedom, and society should not accommodate them.
