The Hatchet (not the book) + Another (school) Shooting

A man snapped and attacked a group of NYC police officers in the borough of Queens yesterday. It reminds me of the knife massacres that happened in China.

Much love and comfort to the family and friends who experienced the Washington school shooting this morning.

Now, this gets me wondering: For all the "gun control" push and "gun free zones", what if the people who  commit crimes with guns resort to hatchets (or knives) instead? Will there be "hatchet control", or "hatchet free zones" being implemented?

If a person can't get a hold of a gun they'll resort to another weapon; let's not forget that our appendages also can be used as weapons (see: domestic violence and fist fights). Our fists, arms and legs can be lethal, but sometimes they're put under "martial arts" as a pretense. I would guess guns - the image of one - the sound of one going off - the destruction that it can cause - are major factors for those that push for such weapon control. They have "gunphobia." Literally.
