Will Obama move to outlaw knives?

[sqhead]

i would'nt like either,but getting sliced up with a knife or or getting shot,i think i'm gonna pick getting shot.

 

[Xtasy]

Move to outlaw knives? Nah....

But it wouldn't surprise me to see Washington gun-grabbers spin this horrible event for their cause. Something like this ---

As terrible as this situation was, just think how much worse it would have been had this troubled young man had military style assault weapons with a lot of clips (Washington technical speak). Instead of 14 injured, there might have been dozens dead. Reference Sandy Hook.

-- Wouldn't surprise me at all...

The only thing coming to my mind when I read the thing about clips was this picture

A scalpel from the bio-lab. BHO will ban SWORDS.

Has the National Knife Association made any statements on this tragedy yet?

Yep, only knives without blades will be allowed but do require registration with the feds

 

[shouldazagged]

Not yet, but we're more then half way there.

Nahhh, not even close.

 

[HELLSING]

Guess where it all occurred... A GUN FREE ZONE!

The enemy (and we had better regard them as such, for they are attempting to wage war on us and our Constitution and way of life) likes to say that mass kilings only happen here, due to our "lax" laws. Today in Serbia, a man killed about 13 people in a mass shooting.

I didn't watch the news yet today; got that off the Net this AM and have e-mailed a friend in that city (Belgrade) to see what's happened. I don't think the perp was anywhere near her university, so am not too worried about her. But Serbia probably has much more harsh laws re guns than we do. So did Norway. Remember that event?

A few years ago, some nut in China cut quite a swath among the innocent with a large knife.

Those whose minds are such that they don't care about others and who want instant publicity on a large scale will continue to do things like this, especially where they know that anyone else will be unarmed.

I doubt that I can answer this question with regard to Obama without violating the board policy about discussing politics. But I do think he will try to lmiit access to all weapons and make us a nation of unarmed sheep if he can.
I am fully convinced that educators, the media, and others are involved in a campaign to make people think of knives, guns, and anything else that they can use to defend themselves with as being bad.

Yes, we are heading for a fate like that of the UK if things don't change. Too many here are drinking the socialist Kool-Aid.

 

[Dezfan]

HURRY! The time to act is now!

Let's do it for the children!

 

[COL Jagdog]

My CRKT knife has a clip -- the clip will probably be banned now.

 

[Swannick]

I carry a knife everyday. I have many to choose from but this is my most recent acquisition: Spartan - 21S :: Cold Steel Knives - YouTube

I'm sure they'll find a reason to ban it.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

Well, if he outlaws knives they'll be a run on meat grinders and food processors

See-it works!!!

 

[Intheshop]

They'll have to pry our Stephen Bader belt grinder from my cold dead fingers.....Stephen Bader & Co., Inc. - Manufacturer of quality belt grinders, polishing and finishing equipment

We've had a bit of fun with this very serious subject, but in Great Britian right now it is against the law to carry a knife and as someone pointed out using a kitchen knife to defend yourself in your own kitchen is illegal there. In the old Scottish costume a sgain dubh is a specialized knife (dagger) worn in the sock. They now sell them in Great Britain without blades so you can keep your costume somewhat authentic without violating the law.

Remember, the second amendment does not cover edged weapons.

Technically the word "arms" covers a lot of ground.

Soldiers carried knives, bayonets and swords and one of the founders wrote the people should have the same type of equipment that soldiers commonly did.

Merchant ships and privateers were also armed with cannon.
So were militia units.

In fact, one of the items the Regulars marched out of Boston to
confiscate on April 19, 1775, was a cannon.

In NC it is illegal to carry concealed outside your own home any edged weapon (including a butcher knife) other than a "small" folding pocket knife less than 4½" long folded. This applies to stun guns and throwing stars.

The cause is obvious even from my sandbagged bunker behind my M-60 Pig that the miscreant was obviously running with his X-acto Blade and ran into those fourteen people by accident. He couldn't have done it on purpose because he didn't use a firearm. When will they ever learn not to run with pointed objects! Even the President in his latest speech has stated we should make it harder to kill our children. If we can't believe him, just who can you believe and trust?
"Lord, Make Me Fast And Accurate
Let My Aim Be True
And My Hand Faster
Than Those Who Would Seek To Destroy Me And Mine
Grant Me Accuracy Over My Foes And Those That Wish
To Destroy Me
Let Not My Last Thought Be, If I Only Had My Gun
And Lord, If Today Is Truly The Day You Call Me Home
Let Me Die In An Empty Pile Of Brass"

The word "army" comes from "arms" and armies existed long before the invention of firearms.

I can see it now, the next time I go into Hobby Lobby to buy a pack of No. 11 blades for my X-acto knife I will have to show my CCDW license and drivers license while waiting on the background check to be done.

You'll be limited to seven blades.
