    Dear Members,

    Knife wielding attackers have killed 29 people in China.

    http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/01/world/asia/china-railway-attack/

    It's time to clamp down on all knives (including plastic ones which can evade airport metal detectors).

    The People's Republic of Maryland has always been on the forefront of change. So, it's time to discuss stronger legislation on knife control.

    Maryland should implement a 7 day waiting period on all cutlery and mandatory blade locks. Finally, Maryland should close the "knife show loophole."

    There is no longer any reason to own a knife. The founding father's did not intend for this. Now, that we can eat out at Chipotle or McDonalds, knives in private hands are no longer needed. I am sure Brian Frosh would agree too!

    After all, knives kill, people don't.

    Thank you!

    bbaick, thank you for the humor (and dark humor of course - as 29 getting slaughtered must have been tragic and brutal). This story about the knife attack was from 2014, so similar comments on MDS were made at the time about "knife violence", "assault knives", etc. In the same vein, I stole the attached cartoon from another MDS member ...

    Agreed! Sometimes my typing gets bad too. That's when I have to type with one hand.

    We talked about this on the show several weeks ago. There was actually legislation to regulate knives on the Hill. But I imagine there are all kinds of silly bills that go nowhere.

    You sure it was to regulate them?

    There was a bill to protect knife owners, similar to FOPA.
