Why not ban knives while we're at it

I have another political agenda for the Obama/Biden team — a ban on all knives and other sharp objects.

In The Bee's Jan. 18 Law & Order column, two items described two different stabbing incidents, one resulting in death.

To my knowledge, there is no provision in the Constitution allowing citizens to arm themselves with knives. So, with a swift pen, Obama can outlaw the possession of all knives, from paring knives to machetes.

What a peaceful nation we would be then!
