Anti-Stab Knife

The anti-stab knife is another product designed to create false hope among the touchy-feely anti self defense crowd. You can bet that the same people who trumpet the "safe" gun will call for a governmental referendum to bring the anti-stab knife to the United States.

We can only hope it happens, since it will further expose the anti-gun crowd's true intentions.
They aren't fighting to stop gun crime or gun violence as they claim. Rather, they are determined to keep Americans from having the ability to fight back when attacked, giving the government even more control of our personal safety.

It is incumbent upon all liberty-minded Americans to fight against the misguided polices put forth by the type of people who honestly believe an anti-stab knife is going to reduce violent crime. As usual, it puts a mechanical limit on a decision by a person to commit a violent act. Over the years, we've learned through failed gun control policies that regulating inanimate objects does little to stop people from committing violent crimes.
Instead, we need to let honest people use the best means of self-defense available, because despite all the promises of government to protect the American people, they historically have failed to do so.

The examples of those failures are horrifying and include Columbine, Katrina and the 9/11 attacks.
More than likely, however, your moment of terror won't come in a national tragedy. It will occur in your home, in the parking lot at a strip mall or after you take cash out at a walk up ATM.
Let's hope, for your sake, when that moment comes, you still have the right to carry a firearm to defend yourself and aren't forced instead to carry the utterly useless anti-stab knife. Since, as we know, the criminal attacking you won't follow the law and won't have turned in their gun or usable knife.
