[Northkeep] Is this ridiculous or just terminally sad?

They did ban alcohol back in the 30's it was called prohibition and look what happened then!

Curiously, it was only in the mid-90s that deaths by handgun surpassed death by knife in the US (according to the government mortality statistics).

If someone wants to kill you (particularly if they are drunk and raging), they will find something.  Perhaps they should ban alcohol.

They can not legislate the world into perfect safety.
