Suitable Only for Murder Most Foul, Eh?

The court had previously established that such weapons have "no peaceful purpose" and that any "‘implement for the infliction of serious bodily injury which serves no common lawful purpose shall not be allowed to exist in our society.” [More]
I guess "the court" doesn't get out much.

But the real question is -- if their premise is correct -- why is there an "OnlyOnes" exemption?

"shall not be allowed to exist in our society"

Yeah, how are you going to prevent that? You can't keep the villains locked up, how are you going to erase the existence of a weapon I can make at home?

When I was about seven years old, someone in my extended family had a switchblade knife and was cautiously showing it around. I was waned to keep quiet about it.

"Why?", I asked. "Whats the big deal"?

"Because they are illegal!" I was admonished.

Being a child and innocent, I asked, "Why are they illegal?"

My grandmother replied in a close, hushed tone, "Only Meskins carry those!"

"Oh..." I was more confused than before but knowing that was the only answer I was going to get.

The Great Progressive Era, from Teddy Roosevelt, through Woodrow Wilson, and ultimately FDR, gave us the illegality of nearly everything, the licensure of nearly everything, and the enforcement of it all.

Because, as you know, the Lords of Socialism know what is best for you and will impose it on you, even if it kills you, for your own good.

I turned out okay.

Anyone else?
