The company's founders, owners, and members are socially irresponsible and should their products be used illegally, I hope they lose everything they own and rot in jail for pre-meditated stupidity.

Edited for clarity: My issue isn't the blades, but rather the material with which they are produced.
Well, by extension of that logic, gunmakers are responsible for firearms violence and fast food makers for obesity.

"My M-4 made me commit a crime." "My 'Vette made me get a ticket." "Why does anyone need 30 rounds?" "Who needs a car that can go three times the national speed limit?" "I am a victim of my possessions!" "Protect me, Namby State!"

I believe that I will have to agree to disagree and say that IMHO, you should be able to buy anything you can make out of cold steel.

You use it inappropriately around me and I should be able to make a hole in you big enough I can throw a cat through.
