You know where this is going.... "Oh yes, we must register every knife, especially 'assult knifes' specially made for cutting meat. And if you lose a knife you better report it. Nobody really needs a hunting knife and certainly not a sword (which should be banned)...."
I think we can accomodate these people who want to be really really really safe. All we have to do is lock them in a rubber padded room with no sharp objects and put them in a straightjacket and tell them that everyone else in the country (except carefully screened and duly authorized caregivers) are in other rooms just like theirs. They should feel very safe then.

And then we'll start reading headlines like "Rocks are 'Tools of Death' no different than guns and knives". With the inevitable calls for registering every 'assault rock'.

Make 'em eat with chop sticks, and buy pre-cut up food. Or maybe only cold soup.

They want a 10-year minimum sentence for anyone wielding a knife while committing a violent crime and a 25-year minimum sentence for anyone convicted of murder involving a knife.
It sounds like a call for mandatory minimums...and those are not necessarily a bad thing. I'm certainly for them for gun crimes. There are just too many liberal judges and juries these days that want to sentence someone to counseling instead of a good hanging.

Anyone who intentionally murders someone with a gun, a knife, a rock, a hammer, poison, a rope, bare hands or any other device should either be put to death or serve life in prison.

Deadly assault knives and cop killer swords must be banned - for the children's safety.

"A knife and a gun, the only difference is that the gun makes noise. They both take lives," A knife does not kill, a gun does not kill, PEOPLE kill. The person who does no understand this is just an Ostrich.
It is not the sword that does the beheading.

I was prepared to ridicule this article, but having read it, there really is nothing here to ridicule. This isn't about banning knives; it's about punishing criminals who happen to use knives for their crimes.

Maybe Williams-Sonoma will join the NRA to set up a "Chef's Defense Fund", to demand that our Second Amendment right to individual cooking utensil ownership be preserved. ;)

Everybody should carry a knife and a gun
And a couple of sharpened lead pencils.
(G. Gordon Liddy mentioned those as unobtrusive, but useful impromtu weapons)
