Gun Bans now...Butter Knife Bans later...

Here is another politician that need to be shown the door out of government service. Thanks, and don't let the door hit you on the way out: According to an article in the Seattle Times, Sen. Adam Kline, D-Seattle (state senate) who is sponsoring gun ban legislation in Washington State. Fortunately, Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn is fighting Kline's gun ban legislation and seems to be winning.
Some notable quotes from the article:

• "We're trying to protect the police, we're trying to protect the youth and this is one step to prevent gun violence," [Ralph] Fascitelli said. I'm sure *this* law will protect these people considering the existing laws weren't able to.
• Owners of weapons affected by the bill would be able to keep them if they allow the local sheriff's department to inspect and make sure they are stored "safely and securely." The weapons can still be used at firing ranges.nothing like giving up your rights against illegal search without a warrant. How will law enforcement be able to tell the difference from "legal" banned guns and the "illegal" banned guns? I guess they will just need to keep a list of names and serial numbers...

 Why is it that fools focus on the equipment used in the crime instead of the criminal? If that's the case then these cases are going to lead to a "butter knife ban":

• Of course it's nice to see the schools are taking action against these dangerous weapons: http://www.wltx.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=54832
• I hear using a butter knife in the commission of a crime is pretty serious too: http://www3.signonsandiego.com/news/2009/jun/29/us-odd-butter-kniferobbery-062909/

If you think this is nuts...just take a look at what's happening in Great Britain.
