#1 Geez louise what a bunch of cowardly tyrants they're growing in the NW.

What about my 10" chef's knife? How about the meat cleavers? I'm not a "licensed" chef you gonna raid my house like that two bit Hitler in Illinois? What about my paint scraper that uses a single edge razor blade?

These despicable lunatics should be set out on a raft to drift in the Pacific surrounded by buckets of chum.

#2 A deadly weapon is defined as an instrument capable of being used offensively or defensively and likely to cause death or serious bodily harm.

Cain slew Abel. The event has been depicted as with a rock or a stick or the jaw bone of an ass.

I have never set foot on left coast soil for several very good reasons. Dumbness is the primary one.

#3 Long, long ago Jarhead spoke of preparing for hijack attempts on any airplane flight he took, as filling a sock with the coins from his pocket to create a cosh, tying his shoelaces together to create a garrotte (spelling?), having a ballpoint pen, and always holding on to his bread rolls from the meal. Of course, he *is* a licenced professional...

#6 How about Renn Faires? Ever take a look at some of the weaponry on parade at one? Think Scots and orcs.

#7 Good gawd, is there nothing else the "do-gooders" in Tacoma have to worry about? Exactly how many people have been harmed by one of these weapons right after it was bought at a convenience store? Duh, just the fact that a freakin' convenince store is selling them says it should be safe....someone could just buy one, then turn right around and hold the place up to "get his money back + interest."

And, they're taking away slingshots? When's the last time you've heard someone being killed by a slingshot (David & Goliath not included)? That's an all-american boy's dream as a lil' tike...to have a slingshot and now the "safety police" are takin' that away too? Almost makes me thankful to be living next door (not in) to Cynthia McKinney's district, lol!
