Here are some shocking and tragic headlines for all you bleeding heart Obama loving sheeple:

Campus Officer Injured In Sword Attack, Suspect Shot & Killed « CBS Denver

Police: Man Injured In Frankford Sword Attack « CBS Philly

Student is suspect in samurai sword attack - Watertown Daily Times Online : News: jefferson high school, sword attack,

Homeless Woman Killed By Samurai Sword in San Jose: SFist

Now, guns are already regulated...but swords? Anyone can buy one, even online:

Collectibles > Knives, Swords & Blades > Swords | eBay

So why not regulate them too? Why not have a waiting list for a sword or ban them all together? I mean, what law abiding citizen would ever need a samurai sword anyway?

And spare me, SPARE ME the old, tired "well, ahh, swords don't kill people as quickly" line. So what you are saying is that you are okay with one or two people dying from a sword as long as it isn't five people from a gun? So you would shrug at the grieving mother of a child who just had his/her little head cut off by a psycho doing his best "Highlander" impersonation and say "well, it was just your one kid and it wasn't a gun, so I don't care."

"After the first death there is no other"-Dylan Thomas

Once one innocent person dies, it doesn't matter how many more die, the tragedy has already happened.

*I can predict the future*

I will get a bunch of ad hominem and appeal to ridicule fallacies about this, says my crystal ball, because the liberals HAVE NO GOOD ANSWER AND HENCE FALL BACK ON FALLACIES.

If everyone had swords, no one would ever die from a sword wound again!

And 40,000 die from cars.

But that's okay, it's worth the convenience.

I dunno, I think these temper tantrum threads are kind of humorous.
