Schadenfreude, is that you?

Now if China would only ban knives, school children would not be injured by a lone maniac.

You know, for some odd reason, when I read that, I pictured the illustrious Hank Johnson wielding a firearm.

For some odd reason you made me think of Homer Simpson looking down the barrel of a gun to see if it’s loaded.

*BOOM*

Blackfaced Homer: “D’oh!”

I think that you just presented the only cogent argument for gun control that I ever heard.

0.0 …thank you…that’s quite an honor.

However, one could apply the same principle to driving a vehicle, using sharp utensils, bearing children, operating a lawn mower or posting on the internet, so there is that.

The best basis I’ve ever heard for if something should be regulated at all – at the state or federal level – are these three questions:

1. How badly can it be dangerous to people besides the user?
2. How quickly can it be dangerous to people besides the user?
3. Can it be regulated without massive expenses and/or gross violations of freedom?

To apply those to some examples, denying guns to convicted felons and former inhabitants of looney bins is hardly a violation of freedom or hideously expensive. We require driving tests because a 1000-lb vehicle at any real speed is a definite “yes” to #1 and #2.

But regulating having children (as much as Democrats would be the ones denied) would not only be mind-bogglingly expensive, but a Hugh-Jass question mark on freedom. And regulating sharp knives not only violates #3 outright, but it is absolutely laughable.

Meaning no insult to conservatives, but the average American is so dumb and so clueless I wouldn’t want them anywhere near a lethal weapon.

Many of them will.

Sadly.

Wait, so if someone admits to not having firearms in their home, that puts them in a higher risk category, right?

What’s truly frightening is that the U.S. seems now by design to be far more bureaucratic than the civil servants of Canuckistan could imagine in their wildest dreams. Every agency seems to write its own regulations which have the force of law other than the rare occasion when somebody manages to challenge them successfully.

Add in to this mix 10 times the population of the Great White North and it’s going to be a nightmare when Obama gets us to where he wants to take us.
