An Atlanta television station reports that a fan was stabbed in the neck outside the Georgia Dome after the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Atlanta Falcons for the NFC Championship. A witness told…
Clearly there is a need for anyone owning a knife to undergo a background check. For far longer than guns, these dangerous weapons have been used as weapons of aggression on unarmed peaceful people.
We should start with putting armed guards in every steakhouse.

I don't think increased gun control is a particularly effective solution for school massacres either, but posts like this are so obtuse that they damage your position, instead of helping it.

I know...I just couldn't resist highlighting the hypocracy. People are concentrating on the guns and not on the people using the guns. That, to me, is even stupider than this thread.

Yes, but not in the same way you are. I have no real issue with background checks. I do have an issue with concentrating on the millions of legal gun owners who have never committed a crime versus concentrating on getting treatment for mentally unstable people who are likely to become violent. It seems to me that removing the constraints put on mental health officials for identifying potentially violent patients would work well with a background check. To me, that is the kind of emphasis we need to be looking at...not wheter or not you can carry 5 bullets in a magazine as opposed to 10.

Of course the applicable "constraint" is they just aren't any good at differentiating between those who are risks, and those who aren't. So good luck removing that ...

1. It's "hypocrisy".
2. It's not hypocrisy given that guns are a lot more scary and dangerous than knives. Also, I think anyone would love it if we could just make people less inclined to engage in violence in general, any ideas?

One most also remember that people suffering from mental health issues are far more likely to be the victims of violence, as opposed to perpetrators.

The "likely to become violent" is the problem. It's interesting to me that generally conservative people who have qualms about the government having the power to restrict gun ownership, commerce and manufacture, aren't even more concerned with the notion of government having some power to engage in "civil commitment" without a crime being committed or due process being observed. We've already had that history of abuse to some extent.
