Just When You Thought Arizona Couldn't Get Stupider...

[Ace Otana]

Everyone has always had shovels, hoes, pitchforks, sickles, hammers, hands and feet... and all of these have been used to slay.

So you think it's ok to go one step further by leaving your house with a knife or gun? This helps how?.

And knives have been a somewhat common household item in most countries for a fairly long time indeed.

Yes knives in a house is common and quite normal. But why leave the house with a knife? What are you going to do? Cut meat up in the meddle of the street?

With very limited data, you claim that people were murdered because people had knives.

Corpses with stab wounds often leads to a knife crime. Basic logic really. You can tell crime has gone up because of the increased reports...and bodies.

I look around the room I'm in right now, and I know 4 people who are armed,

Why are they armed?

As for the reason not many people engage in such crimes as multiple murders: it is *not* easy to get away with. The government is almost certain to find the person. That person could well spend the rest of their life bored or waiting in line to die.

If criminals are strongly deterred by law and justice and thus making crime unlikely to affect you, why arm yourself?

Arming your populace means that they don't even get to wait in line to die, and have a very low chance of escape. Having another tool isn't going to cause very many people to go murder someone else... most of those that are murdered with a tool would have been attacked anyway (if not murdered anyway).

How civilised.

If Ace doesnt like guns, and thinks disarming is great, then he can get rid of HIS guns and disarm HIMSELF.

I'm not trying to dictate unto others of their freedoms. An opinion is all I have given. I believe concealed weapons are wrong. My opinion, not something I'm trying to dictate unto others good sir.
