The dilemma,
1)ban all weapons (guns, knives, hammers, tomahawks, curling-irons)
2)red flag crazy people
The solution
1)binary, you either ban or not
2)chaos - bureaucratic minions of the state pick & choose the baddies
Sounds like a Lose-Lose
I do not advocate violence,, BUT we had one Bunker Hill, there can be others
PS: Notice the Pine Tree on the flag? It lives on,, To this very day.
