PPL, PPL, PPL. I hope this is a lesson to someone in that War Zone. Never walk along at night, specially in the 93305 zone!! There are a lot of in-breds without a once of brain and humanity running loose there.

DR999--If it had a black handle, Diane Feinstein would classify it as an assault knife. But, if it had a wooden handle, it'd be for hunting. Gotta love politician's logic! :)

Was it an "assault knife?"

Good one Paranah! Also - what about automobiles? There are a lot of deaths as a result of vehicle accidents. Should we ban them as well? And how about the number of people who end up overdosing on prescription pills? Unfortunately we can't save society from bad people, stupid people, careless people or people in general. Guns, knives, cars, pills - all used or operated by people.

Mr Obama, according to the FBI crime statistics in 2011 there were 323 deaths from rifles including the so-called assault rifle. But in 2011 there were 1694 deaths related to knives and other cutting instruments, That's three times as many deaths than by rifles including so-called asault rifles. We need regulations and outright ban's pertaining to deadly knives. These numbers can be found at the FBI web page.
