Please join me in writing our representatives and demanding this common sense step, for the safety of all of us and our children. Thank you. #stopthestab

And don't forget that there is no need for those knives to exceed 1 1/2" in length, handles that exceed 3 inches, have pointed ends... nor should they be full-tang or have vertical hand guards for knives of that description are for exclusive military use.

(( My sarcasm should not be misconstrued for a lack of sympathy for the innocents involved. ))
