Another Mass Murder - No Call for KNIFE Control

From FoxNews

QUINCY, Mass. — Police say a Quincy woman killed her 9-year-old daughter and an unborn child in an apparent case of domestic violence.

The 38-year-old suspect is being treated for self-inflicted stab wounds at Boston Medical Center and is expected to be arraigned Friday on two counts of murder. She was 7 1/2 months pregnant.

And the calls for immediate action from the anti-freedom crowd will begin in 3...2....oh, it was a knife. Never mind, there won't be any calls to ban private sales, there want be demands for background checks. Instead we'll hear how knives are a deadly tool but they are different from firearms.

I noticed over at New Jovian Thunderbolt that you started a gun blog. Welcome to the fold.

Kaveman,

Thanks, I appreciate you stopping by.

No knife control?

Really.

Do we really need pointy knives? And why won't scissors do?

Americans' just don't get the social cost of clinging to their blinkered traditions.

"They argued many assaults are committed impulsively, prompted by alcohol and drugs, and a kitchen knife often makes an all too available weapon.

The research is published in the British Medical Journal.

The researchers said there was no reason for long pointed knives to be publicly available at all.

I fully expect the knife-nuts to respond with "we should just ban kitchens"...
