Born 1947, me a growing dino also lived through that far way different world called the 50s.
Heck, looking back, it was kinda Jurassic.

But would have to be locked up so that bad people could not use them. Reminds me of the over 400 schools in a NY school district that purchased a 16 inch mini baseball bat for each school so that as a last resort a student could knock a gun out of the hand of a shooter. But the bat had to be locked up so that it did not get into the wrong hands.
In the 50s no one in my schools worried about small pen knives like the one I would use in study hall next to the guy with his brown paper bag with his whiskey bottle.

Me dino don't know if those Brits still make those Hammer horror films. If so, right about now they should come out with a flick called "Tools Of Terror!"
Whoa! A new Hammer horror flick?
A Hammer with a hammer???

Go to this site for pics of some of these weapons.
There is, shock horror, even a Philips head screw driver.
The blogger Andrew Bolt proposes a cause, if you read between the lines.
There are some hilarious and incisive comments.

"Heretics" too, that word not as powerful as "racists" in this day and time.
During the Obamanation administration, a climate change denier was also a racist for going against anything that King Barry said. Just ask Jimmy Carter.

Back then Catholic Church would also turn on the current pope for saying there is not a hell, likely calling him the antichrist as well.

They were deniers!

As I remember reading, weren't people who believed the earth was round either jailed or put to death?

If the collectivists get their way, this is not that far off

It was a nightmare! I was in a court room and the judge was saying,
“...crimes of denying climate change, adding too much salt and using the improper pronoun! How does the accused plea?”

So far . . .

"If the right to self-defense does not exist, how could any other right exist in the first place?"
Bravo! :-)

I may want to use that in the future.

I was mentioning what the left would say. Its really up to each of us what we eat and drink.

Well, it's not too shocking, if you understand and consider the principles involved. And these anti-gun people obviously do not respect man's right to self-
defense. In fact, even though the right to bear arms is in the Constitution, the fact of having to quibble over whether it applies only to a militia or also to individuals just shows the flagrant disrespect shown nowadays to a * natural, inborn right of man*. If the right to self-defense
does not exist, how could any other rights exist in the first place?
But this attitude is not new. I have seen it
from long ago, even when I was a child. Adults
telling children not to fight back when somebody
else makes aggression against them, with the
hypocritical admonition to go to someone in authority instead, which authority, when appealed to, just spouts a lot of blather (another word would describe it better, but there are restrictions about what one is supposed to put on the Internet); this being applied to fists, etc., it is no surprise when it is applied to guns when the child becomes an adult.

Can';t imagine why~

hmm, but too much salt is BAD for u. Needs regulation or rationing.

Within a week after the 9/11 attack, I read a news account of some dude retaliating by murdering a Sikh (due to the headgear) somewhere in the northwest, Oregon or Washington State maybe. My dino memory is kinda fuzzy.
The killer now sits in some prison with his life ruined~and woefully aware that he got back at the wrong religion.

Crunchy but needs more salt.

Soy lent green is ready to eat and doesn’t need plates or silverware !

Heard that one also.

Paper is...foam/plastic is not.

A...in fact...that muslim nancy boy will probable outlaw ole Dino.
Some one recently said that the next to go will be all hands and feet...now how are ya gona eat your meat, so you can have your pudding???

Thank you for the correction. I figured my generalization was probably off, but I just had to comment.

Reminds me of an old legend, where in Russia, in order that their boys not get conscripted into the army, they'd cut off their index finger at birth. They were hoping that after a few generations, they'd be born that way.
