It's far more easy to shoot somebody than to stabb him or her.......

Have you ever shot or stabbed anyone?

Have you ever shot or stabbed anyone?

No. But I have been shot and stabbed (different occasions)......

Certain types of knives are already illegal here. Having a baseball bat in your car is also illegal. (maybe not if you can prove you're actually going to play baseball).

at home i try to keep some sort of melee weapon near me at all times (yes a chair does count) in case we're robbed by people with knives at bats. Banning knives will just lead to them having to ban things like chairs (which my brother, who's 8 years old, has demonstrated can be used as a weapon), monitors (also can be used as a weapon; hey it hurt my hand once ok), plyers (long island frankfurter...), ice picks (Trotsky style!), plastic bags, baseball bats, cricket bats for you non-Americans, television, dogs, cats, fish, albatross, puffed rice, cds, piano, toilet paper, etc. Damn, sounds like the USSR on crack!

I want to get a small washikazi in my bag in case someone wants to jump me in college. Taking that piece of metal out would scare god himself. And if they try any rough stuff I'll act accordingly, sending them to the hospital promto.

cds

I've seen that in a movie(Oldboy), where this guy breaks a CD in half and stabs this fat guy in neck like 8 times. It was my favorite scene int he whole movie.
