When they whine about it, oddly enough it isn't the State's or Bush's fault-at least not yet. I ask them if they feel a federal knife registry and background check is in order?
The response: Thats rediculous.
That's a lot of deaths attributed to stabbings. I'm amazed they don't ban some knives. I'm sure one of their brilliant politicians will think about it one day and introduce legislation to ban them. Knives seem to be the weapon of choice for illegal Mexicans too. Maybe it's because they're cheaper or they don't have to be licensed to have one.
I can't remember the exact statistic, but it is somewhere in that neighborhood, and that would include firearms deaths (you hear about those in the media). There have been many stabbings, not all of course are fatalities. My point being of course, its not only guns that kill people, so why are only guns targeted to be outlawed?
