Just wait, before long, they'll be talk of needing to stop the horrific "scissor violence." "SAVE OUR CHILDREN!, STOP THE MADNESS!, LET'S GET SCISSORS OFF OUR STREETS!" "People don't need Assault Scissors, there is nothing in the Second Ammendment saying that people have a right to own military-style, Assault Scissors!"
Aside from the government control issues/reasons behind gun control, there are other factors at play. The nerds, wimps, and uninitiated will never rest until we are all just like them... Have you listened to NPR lately, there is not a male commentator on that network that has any functioning testosterone. Scissors would still be too much for that crowd to bear. They won't stand for anything that represents self reliance, self determination, or anything related to primal courage / self preservation via exertion of force. They want to deny human nature, and what is necessary to address it. The fact that these types dominate the media plays great for the political forces, and their agenda.
After scissors, we'll be reduced to snapping wet towels at our adversaries. That'll leave a mark!
Just some rambling thoughts... Peace
