Do We Need Knife Control?

That question was asked in a report about yet another knife attack, as a ludicrous question. If somebody wants to kill and can’t get a knife, they will use a baseball bat; or a tree branch; or they’ll run over their victim with a car! They WILL find a way! Obviously, you can’t “control” knives like you do guns. Knives are all over the place, and are useful tools (like baseball bats) for many professions, including butchery and surgery. I even have a two-ended weight sold as a page holder in a book store, but which would be an excellent SAP. Metal flashlights are excellent tools to brain someone, but laws aren’t made to make them a weapon. And we ALREADY have “knife control laws.” I’ve long known I was not allowed to go around carrying a knife with a blade longer than 3 inches (with which I could still kill someone). But I don’t think that law (or regulation) has stopped a SINGLE knife attack. Knives are a useful TOOL and not to be banned, in any way. So are guns. But the anti-gun fools aren’t so ignorant about knives BECAUSE they are a recognized tool. (Last Resistance)
