It's time to ban individual ownership of knives

Just weeks after San Francisco voters passed a soon-to-be-overturned ban on personal ownership of handguns, a man was stabbed to death in a troubled neighborhood.

A neighbor commented on the weapons of choice:

"There are never any guns involved," she said. "They use knives."

After we get rid of the knife epidemic, we're coming after blunt instruments. Is being able to play baseball really worth the risk of someone being beaten to death with a baseball bat? Are home repairs really worth the risk of someone's skull being smashed in with a hammer?
