That's the idea; create turmoil so that the people cry out and then the all powerful government can ride in (trample over) to the rescue.

Well fortunately I don't live there. It is such an inane law, I couldn't think of anything to really comment on.

Presumably the next step is a Red Flag Law for cutlery so if you cut your grass too early in the morning your neighbor will complain and the cops will kick your door in to confiscate your butter knives.

This story is a stab to the people that are the knife equivalents of NRA-type fans!

i remember saying just a couple of years ago on this very forum, that after guns were heavily restricted, that knives were next, and i was excoriated. well seems i right about this.
