When will people get tired of all the mass stabbings that are occurring all over the country. When will people say, "Enough is enough?"
It's past time to outlaw assault knives and let only the police and military carry them.
Most of these (over 6" long) knives are sold over the counter in hardware, novelty, and convenience stores to anyone without a background check, paperwork, fingerprint card, or ID. Almost all of these knives have no serial numbers and cannot be traced back to their point of sale, who purchased them, or who manufactured them (who should be held legally liable as they made this weapon, and distributed them in the first place).
At the very least, the flea market loophole needs to be closed and these weapons of mass stabbings should be regulated and sold only by licensed dealers. A federal agency should be created to oversee these deadly weapons and they should be regulated much as knives are treated in the UK.
Every Town for Common Sense Knife Safety is looking for volunteers who would be willing to reach out into smaller communities and spread the word to help rein in the proliferation of these terrible knives.
A buy-back program has been instituted in Chicago, San Francisco, Baltimore, DC, and NYC. More cities need to follow suit and help get these knives off the streets.
