Know Knives

http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?ID=5043 The US Senate has passed a bill to prevent the banning of commonly carried knives. In this age of blame everyone except the criminal, someone determined that if we banned knives carried by tens of millions of Americans we would be safer. This of course, ignores the fact that criminals don't obey laws and that there are tens of millions of these knives in circulation. The person who performs the evil is the person who should be held responsible for the evil. The person who murders someone should be blamed for the murder, not the gun, not the knife. The attorneys who place making money over justice twist and pervert the law so that criminals get out of paying for their crimes. Then well meaning but impractical people think if they can ban the inanimate object they can protect others from the next evil act. The best way to prevent evil acts is to punish those who commit evil acts. Murderers, kidnappers, rapists, should go to prison, or even be put to death in a timely manner. They should stay in prison for a long time. Every day they are in prison is a day they cannot victimize the general public that's the view from the Hysterical Right Wing.
