"Are you suggesting that laws against carrying knives reduced crime?"

People were different during the '60s in C.C. and San Antonio. Those cutting each other up were mostly in Mexican neighborhoods, mainly drunks in bars and young folks around hangouts. Shootings were rare and confined to drunks in any neighborhood. The non-Hispanic population was nearly all Protestant and didn't drink much. Nearly no one carried firearms for self-defense or criminal purposes.

We have a whole different world around us now.

Anyone considering carrying a knife for self-defense, remember this. Attackers with knives can be very sneaky. Get in shape, and learn to use the knife (or knives) very well. You might someday be up against someone who has learned and practiced all of his life.

How about you look at "Shall not be infringed" and ignore all the specious reasoning for breaking the 2nd amendment?

Is there a problem with that?
