knives kill

Quote from BSAM:

How 'bout swift and severe punishment for those who commit crimes with knives or guns?
My guess is that would be a great deterrent for knife and gun crimes.

Liberals don't support swift or sever punishment.

You got a plan B?

Brother Crispy, I realize you started this thread as sarcasm due to all the recent talk of gun control because of the recent Colorado tragedy.
But, what do you believe can be implemented to reduce the likelihood of such similar incidents in the future?

Quote from Crispy:

Yup.

The time it takes to withdraw the knife and open it is slower due to the extra step. A normal sheathed knife is much faster.

The bureaucrat who came up with the ban should have their brain put in a jar and filled with formaldehyde for posterity. As a lesson to future generations to use the brain you were born with.

I will admit RCG's point on concealability, though a box cutter is even more concealable (of course you sacrifice reach with those), but in Canada it is not illegal to conceal a fixed blade knife.

Quote from Ricter:

Their opinion is nonsense. I am a skilled user of butterfly knives, and even the simplest opening, the single flip, is slower (but not by much) then drawing a fixed blade. The "extra deadliness" of the butterfly knife is a creation of Hollywood, imo.

Perhaps, after I cut myself a couple of times with a butterfly I let that go.

But a prosecutor would still ask, why would you need to be skilled with such an esoteric weapon as a butterfly?

New Constitution?
Term limits?
BTW---Is that "sever" a typo or a misspellan'?

Can't have box cutters either in some states.

Okay, that is a typo. See, Lukie, I'm fair

Hehe, first rule of learning the butterfly knife is: tape your blade. : )

Probably wouldn't admit this to a prosecutor, but opening a butterfly skillfully intimidates.

In the 80's, in black america, taping the blade was for sissies. I tried it, I tapped out. Switch blade was easier. That is, until I learned the Chicago Way.

Edit: Although, if I had less machismo, at that time, I might be able to use a butterfly today.

I don't see why not. These things can leave a tragic trail of hellish combovers in its wake.
