... "Two bills aiming to relax current knife laws are raising new questions about the right to bear arms in a legislative session embroiled by gun legislation, setting up a battle between law enforcement and pro-knife advocates."
"Lobbyists representing knife makers and owners are pushing the legislation as a civil rights matter and say murky descriptions in state law are unjustly limiting knife constitutional rights in the state. Law enforcement says loosening knife laws could prove lethal for police and the public." ...

| Seems like the UK nannies have cousins on this side of the Atlantic ! I've carried a "pocket knife" of one sort or another for over fifty years without committing mayhem. They're convenient, useful tools capable of addressing a variety of situations. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
