"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Knife Control Based on Same 'Irrational Premise' as Gun Control
Look what they're doing in New York City regarding pocket knives. District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr., is prosecuting individuals who are caught carrying "illegal gravity knifes." These are the very knives 90 percent of the people American people carry when they carry a knife: they are folding pocket knives. But the DA claims these are illegal because if you try hard enough you can probably flip them open with an aggressive arm and wrist movement--thus the label "gravity knives."
Now get this--If you are a gun owner in NYC, once you are arrested for having an "illegal gravity knife" you have to turn in your guns within 24 hours.
