Should people purchasing an ax have to get a background check? And be prohibited from owning one until they are 21?

Quote:
A Las Vegas woman has been arrested after police say she scaled the fence of a local elementary school with a pickax in her hand.

Officer Eric Leavitt said Wednesday that Kisstal Killough appeared to be under the influence of an unspecified drug and was threatening to 'kill everybody' before she was jailed a little before noon on Tuesday.

Leavitt says Killough lives near Tom Williams Elementary School, and neighbors and school officials called police when they saw her pacing with the ax in the parking lot while some 200 children were in the school yard.

I see the media goes for the sensational headline here, calling it an ax, rather than a pickax. Or maybe they are just as ignorant here as they are when discussing guns.

An ax was never designed to kill or maim other people.

Guns were.

Nice deflection.
