Dalton McGuinty: Curb Knife Violence With Ban on Handguns
Someone has been putting LSD in the liberal Kool-Aid again. Ontario Liberal Party leader Dalton McGuinty believes the proper response to a fatal stabbing at a Toronto high school is not to install metal detectors or increase security — which would amount to "Americanization" of Canadian schools — but to ban handguns.
Warbles McGimpy:
Let's ban handguns in Ontario. Let's ban handguns across the country. Let's declare war against handguns.
That way when people are attacked with knives, they'll be less likely to cause trouble by defending themselves.
More predictably, competing moonbat Howard Hampton of the New Democratic Party blamed the stabbing on not enough money having been flushed down the extravagantly expensive boondoggle known as public education.
On a tip from V the K.

well, you can't cut your steak with a gun...unless you stand waaaaaaaaaaay back, of course...

Why not ban steak knives too! After all meat is killing the planet! Butter knives can be sharpened too. Even Sporks can be used as weapons. Paper and glue can be turned into shiv's! Pens and pencils can be used a weapons.
Has anyone invented a gun that can fire knives?

There are some guns that can fire flechettes. I used to own a toy gun that could fire spinning discs... sharpen those puppies up and you may well have a lethal weapon.
And of course there's the trust crossbow...
They should be banned! Banned I say!

You must remember that moonbats don't and can't believe in the old saying, "Where there's a will there's a way." If they did, their belief system would break down on a fundamental level.
They think if you take away one of the ways there will be no will, basically stated, "If there is no way, there can be no will."
I know it sounds stupid, mainly because it is, but this is the best I can do to explain their mentality.
If you have a problem with violence, you must address the causes of the will to resort to violence, not simply try and ban one of the ways it can be manifested.
However, if you view every criminal as a victim themselves, someone who is not responsible for their own actions or behavior, you will inevitably run into trouble when you try and explain why someone becomes violent. This leads to the need to put the focus on inanimate objects, which have no human will of their own, as the culprit, instead of placing the responsibility and consequences where they should rightfully lie.
Keep in mind that in the moonbat world there is no such thing as a criminal, (except W); everyone is a victim.

I'm afraid that the Canadians can't be blaimed for this one. There was a case a few years ago (I'm a little fuzzy on the details) where a stabbing in NEW YORK sparked a gun ban.
>>Has anyone invented a gun that can fire knives?
Kind of, Anonymous. The Russian military has a knife that can launch it's blade.

Yep Harris...fine analysis. It really goes to the heart of it.

Is such policy logic is a side-effect of medicinal marijuana?
