The Bread-Knife Ballad

A little child was sitting Up on her mother's knee
And down down her cheeks the bitter tears did flow.
And as I sadly listened I heard this tender plea,
'Twas uttered in a voice so soft and low.

"Not guilty" said the Jury And the Judge said "Set her free,
But remember it must not occur again.
And next time you must listen to you little daughter's plea,"
Then all the Court did join in this refrain.



Chorus:
"Please Mother don't stab Father with the BREAD-KNIFE,
Remember 'twas a gift when you were wed.
But if you must stab Father with the BREAD-KNIFE,
Please Mother use another for the BREAD."

They'll take my knife when they pry
if from my cold dead fingers.

We need a five day "cooling-off" period before one can purchase a Ginsu knife. One should also be trained in Ginsu knife safety.

The Bowie knife pictured is against the law to carry in Texas. Kinda ironic isn't it.

[harrycarey]

Ban Afros.

The comment that triggered the assault was, "Nice Afro."

[Shryke]

More like:

They'll take my knife when they pry , OW!!! Dammit don't grab it! It's SHARP!.

[Tanniker Smith]

More people died in NY State last year from knives than from so-called assault rifles.

TS
(then again, assault rifles didn't kill anyone in NYS last year AFAIK.)

Don't go giving Sarah Brady any ideas...

They already have them here.

Oh good Lord....they will ban steak knives next...then the vegans will get a foot hold with the banning of red meat because there is no appropriate utensil for the cutting of steaks. It's a conspiracy I tell ya!

SUPPORT THE SEVEN DAY WAITING PERIOD FOR AFROS

[sonofatpatcher2]

I wrote this back in 2000...sometimes it still seems appropriate.

Ban Weapons

Violent crimes are perpetrated every day in this country by assailants using weapons posing as harmless living or non-living things. It is a growing crisis in this country, unnoticed due to the press's bias toward the anti-gun lobby. The media should remember that ratings aren't the be-all and end-all of reporting. The public does have a right to know when they are in danger.

Criminals wield forks, knives, baseball bats (or anything serving as a bludgeoning device), car keys, automobiles, bricks, stones, spare change, bottles, cook ware, drink ware and sling-shots.They maim and kill with casts ( the kind used on broken bones ) and other assorted medical supplies. They attack with fists, feet, knees, heads, bodies (living or not) and large animals, ie: horses. They even use furniture to perpetuate their crimes.

In short, anything which moves, can be moved and/or picked up and/or manipulated in any way can be used as a deadly weapon. Even a plastic drinking cup, in the hand of a knowing user, is a deadly weapon.

I propose, therefore, that any and all potentially deadly weapons including the ones defined above, and those which may, by any stretch of the imagination, be defined in the above category, be immediately classified, confiscated and banned.

Any one knowingly in the possession of, or company of, any of the aforementioned deadly weapons should be immediately prosecuted to the full extent of the law, after such laws have been defined.

I represent a rapidly growing group called M.A.R.L., or Mothers Against Real Life. We have a protest march scheduled in Washington, D.C. in a couple of weeks. An official announcement and press release will be forthcoming as soon as we have all the details ironed out.

Any mother concerned about the growing threat of any of the prople or things we interact with every day is welcome to march to Washington with us. Any one interested may contact us at this web site.

In the meantime, join our letter campaign to Capitol Hill. Let your Congress Person know how you feel. Register to vote, and make your vote count. Remember, this is a national crisis: the fork you eat dinner with today could be the instrument of your murder tomorrow.

You may take our lives but you'll never take our BUTCHER KNIVES!

[Mike1973]

All knives should be registered. Knives with folding handles or with the ability to be attached to a rifle should be banned. Knives sold by authorized seller, should come with a locking scabbard. All private sales of knives should be banned. Parts to make a knife, should be illegal to own unless the owner of parts can prove that parts are used for something other then knife making. All knife makers should be civilly liable, in case of improper use of knives. All records of metallics of individual knives should be kept on file by seller of knife and given to ATF on request. All sharpening stones should only be sold to a person 18 years or older, and all metal polishing oil should be sold only to people presenting identification.
