A need to ban knives 5 stabbed at UC Merced

[Ron Padilla]

I wonder if Feinstein and others will be all over this, what is their saying, don't let a good tragedy go to waste?

It's a school, I'd guess knives were already verboten.

Kali attorney's overview:

 

"For Schools K-12, no knives with blades longer than 2.5 inches are allowed unless they are required for particular work type duties. Razor blades and box cutters are also prohibited. .

 

For colleges and Universities, no fixed blades bigger than 2.5 inches are allowed. However there is no restriction on folding knives as long as they don’t fall under the category of switch blades."

Don't need to ban all knives, just the ones that can be used over and over again.

We need common sense knife reform.

Wow, that's better than TN for a knife law. We don't allow any knife unless it's "tools used solely for preparation of food, instruction and maintenance."

 

Of course, this is probably the most broken law at schools. Heck, you can have a firearm in car, but the law doesn't allow for a knife in your car. Kinda stupid isn't it?

Yep.

 

Of course, practical enforcement ain't all that here. Like, grammar school = el freako, high school=YMMV, college = near zero enforcement.

Ban all knives? Dinner, lunch, or maybe just the assault knives!

[Ron Padilla]

It has been reported that the perp is another shall we guess? A MUSLIM, how about that.

I assume the politicos will spin this as workplace violence, sort of like the Chattanooga Navy and Marine Corps Reserve Center shooting.

Umm....Don't laugh and be careful what you say out loud. It's already being talked about in the UK.

And  Fort Hood.

 

Actually, maybe it was that YouTube video that caused it, eh?

Hmmm..... Will the make me turn in my pocket knife? It's black so I assume it would be classified as an assault knife.
