Ban guns? Why not swords, axes, knives, and flails?

I prefer polymer hairpins.

I'll give up my broadsword when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

“That's very disturbing. Who's he selling them to. I mean I have teenage kids here in the high school, and stuff so they should really do something about that,†says one neighbor."

Umm, didn't he mention the discounted price was $800?!?

If your teenager is buying this stuff, you really need to look at the allowance you're passing his way....

I love how even a major market affiliate can't use the English language worth a darn:

Is this stuff sharp? “Yes, that's the way my client's like them.â€

Here's a hint. Apostrophe S is for contractions or possessives, not for plurals.

That's what Licata told our undercover photographer last month. While his two-year-old son, whom he calls his apprentice, played dangerously near the weapons.

Who. Not whom.

But Licata told a perspective client on our undercover video, he was doing both

And, gee, guys, could you spring for a dictionary, and look up the difference between "perspective" and "prospective?"

But with a school two blocks away, many residents say they don't want the business or it's clientele anywhere in the neighborhood.

Again with the spurious apostrophe?

"That's very disturbing. Who's he selling them to. I mean...

You do know that it is traditional to indicate a question with a question mark, right?



This is beside all of the comma errors, which are rampant.

So we have "journalists" who are inept in their alleged area of expertise, and we expect common sense or logic from them? Gimme a break!

Knock on the door late at night, we've come for the Ginsu knife you've got along with the Chicago cutlery and any scissors you might have.

Next will be the shutting down of all martial arts studios and registering of all former practitioners.

These people need to get a life! Must have really been a slow news day. A person can be made just as dead with a table leg!

Baa, baaa! Baad, baaad sharp things!

2 year old playing 'dangerously' close?

They were probably on a table for display, and the kid was walking around on the floor. I'm sure Licata was paying the necessary attention to the child. How would these knives differ in deadlyness compared to say, a kitchen?

Oh, and the cheapest Item I saw on the site were the hairpins, at $60. Average prices looked to be in the thousands. Hardly something a teenager is going to get to go postal with. A gun would be cheaper and easier. Heck a fire ax would be too, if they wanted to take the physical approach.

I liked alot of his stuff. Definate wall mount material.

Works out of a shed in back? It sounds like he's a old style swordsmith. Probably makes less noise than a neighbor with a circular saw.

Do I need to say anything else?

Geez, I thought only england and austrialia had SUPER-SHEEP, one step above your ordinary sheeple. The kinda people that wet themselves over sharp objects, guess not. Wicked Steel on his webpage. Realizing of course that they are art knives, it'd still be funny to whip out one of his folders against your average shank wielding thug (assuming you were knife proficient)
