Cue the nutters saying "See, we should ban knives!"


You know it's gonna happen.

Re: in case you haven't heard, mass stabbing just happened at PA high school; 20 students injured. Note, INJURED, no one died. And apparently no teacher was packing and shot the perp to death.

A pretty nonsensical thread.  But brought it over to illustrate the fact that there are very few threads about the stabbing in PA.

Yet he is to ****ing stupid to see that it's a valid point.  No matter if it's knives, cars, or guns.  It's the people behind them, and no matter if you ban every freaking weapon there will still be killings.  You will have to ban trees you idiots because they will make bows and arrows or just sharp spears.

Yet you are to stupid to see it's the liberal progressive polices that have brought this crap.  And will continue to bring this crap.  Your no shame, no responsibility, no moral, do as you please society.  These polices have deteriorated everything good and will continue to, yet you always want to address the symptoms your polices create instead of actually addressing the problem.  No morals, no personal responsibility, no work ethic, have sex when you want, **** God, **** morality, **** anything you want, dick in ASS!!!!  **** all the problems that shit creates.  So we get more abortions, more divorces, more people spreading AIDS, more people on welfare, more people lying, cheating, stealing, killing... ON AND ****ING ON!!!!  You people ****ing make me furious.  **** YOU!

Bringing a knife into a school is already prohibited in most placed.  Certainly in Pittsburgh.

I'm fine with knives for reasonable sporting and hobby purposes as long as there are background checks to own them and we get rid of those awful, untraceable knife show transfers, but those high-capacity assault knives have to go.

IIRC, they've already done these things with butcher-type knives in Britain. No more long knives in the kitchen.

If your knife gets up in the middle of the night and kills someone, you should be held liable for it's actions.

All knives should be registered, and the Los Angeles Times should publish the list of names and their addresses.

Just like they do with anyone who donates to causes that are not commie approved.

You can have the bayonet lug but you can't have the flash suppressor or pistol grip at the same time.

I remember some idiot making a post saying the Republicans lost the 2006 midterm elections intentionally to frame the Democratic Party for the recession, which was read aloud on the largest national radio show in the country.

24. Jury Results:

On Wed Apr 9, 2014, 07:41 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Cue the nutters saying "See, we should ban knives!"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024798370

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
 
ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Opportunistic flamebait

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Apr 9, 2014, 07:47 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
 
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation:

Belongs in one of the gum forums.
It's flamebait in GD.

Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I'm with the alerter. Totally hate the "tone" of DU these days. No need to call on something to happen, and no need to label other DUers who aren't even participating (I knew I should have posted in this thread )
 Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's the sort of OP that can be left to sink on its own - no need to hide it.
 Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: All OPs are potentially flamebait to those who disagree. Is the content such that it makes an important political point that is bigger than the potential for flamebait? IMHO yes with this OP and therefore, I vote to leave it alone.
 
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

but then they locked it anyways:
