We should really look into banning knives. How long do we have to have these tragedies go on before people wake up?
Maybe it was just a bar fight. Maybe the "hero" stuck his nose where it didn't belong. Seems too coincidental though. We'll see. KRCA is reporting "The stabbing happened about 12:45 a.m. near 21st and K streets, Sacramento police said. A fight in the street allegedly led to Stone being stabbed multiple times in the torso, prompting investigators to block off two blocks in the area, Sacramento police said.
Guns are a useful invention as well. When was the last time you stopped someone breaking in your house with a butter knife? When was the last time you hunted deer with a steak knife?
Coincidentally, I just happen to own a Cold Steel Bushman. http://www.coldsteel.com/Product/BUSHMAN.20_SERIES/BUSHMAN_SERIES.aspx Note, hollow handle. Think, spear. Admittedly, I have not hunted deer with it.
