Those who wish to ban guns conveniently ignore the fact box cutter knives, not guns, were used to hijack the planes that killed over 3000 on 9/11/2001.

The UK experience with knife ownership suggests if progressives are ever able to ban gun ownership in the US, strict regulation and restrictions on knife ownership will follow/

The state is always seeking power over the individual. As rights are restricted or taken away, the appetite of the state for eliminating rights does not diminish.

There were only three murders in the entire state of Alabama in 2015? Wow.

“Better yet, ban hands and feet... Better yet, ban hands and feet... “

That’s a little extreme. Let’s just confiscate the ones that have been misused. We can store them at City Hall.

Every home must give up EVERY KNIFE... even 'butter knives'...

Taking all knives from law biding citizens will stop knife deaths.

Either YOU are FOR knife confiscation OR you're for murder...( ask any high school student...)

We all know it isn’t about limiting use of rifles or anything like that.

It is about removing all gun rights from citizens.

Their ongoing effort to bankrupt firearm companies, restrict the supply of ammunition or make it so onerous that ammo cannot be obtained show that quite clearly.

If people want to live in a place where individuals are not allowed to own guns, go to Mexico. I hear it is very safe.

Wow! They must have been enchanted, like in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

My goal is for immediate banning and confiscation of all machetes.

I'm doing my part. I've managed to get about 200 out of circulation and into my garage.

I’m strictly a hamburger guy.

Steak never did much for me but I will eat it.

Incomplete data. Bama didn’t turn over all their data to the feds.

It’s time that we demand that all kitchen cutlery have two dull edges and a button on the business end.
