We need knife control. Everyone should now be required to register their silverware.
yup also one Butter knife per month limit as well
Knife? I have a very sharp knife... A Kershaw knife...I also have a G27....Which do you prefer??? Don’t bring your dull-ass cheap p.o.s. to my gunfight....
sarc....
But...bb..but..we need gun control!
Thats precisely right
they should ban people
that should solve it all
Heh! I have a lightsaber.
MUAAHAHAHAAA!!!
(They’re a b!tch to sharpen, though)
Knives - when you want to be up close and personal.
Yep. NYC - the home of the knife-killers. Another Bloomberg success.
That is also what UK thugs turned to when guns became harder to obtain. Soon they realized that in a city a knife is often a better weapon than a gun: it is silent, it is cheap, it is not controlled, it requires no ammo, it is not easily traceable, and with little practice it inflicts horrific damage. One could easily kill with a knife in a dense crowd or in a subway car, and nobody would even know.
Does that mean that gun crimes are down?
Absolutely, and not a moment too soon. So many dangerous potential weapons out there, so little time to ban them all. Once we are required to register our silverware, we'll all be relegated to one governemt issue spork per person.

;-)
It is sad to see that seemingly random crime is creeping back up. It seems it really was a little safer there under Guiliani.
When the wolves kill the sheep, where is shepherd Bloomberg? He’s in Virginia, telling Virginians how they should make themselves wolves’ meat, too. FUBAR. The inmates truly are running the asylum.
