Because acid kills.

Nah, it only blinds and disfigures, which is what the thugs switched to acid in the first place. Stab someone with a knife in Britain and you'll be charged with attempted murder. Throw acid in their face and it's only a "grievous bodily harm" charge.

"From gun control to knife control to now acid control. Of course never addressing the root cause."

"Corrosive substances" include both acids and bases. In any debate, it's important to use precise definitions. In this case, the correct terminology is used in the body of the report; but, not in the title.

For instance, most household drain cleaners are strong bases. An "acid ban" would ignore them.

That said, I agree completely with the substance of your statement -- especially the second sentence.

A 50 gallon drum should do it, I reckon. Only going based on what I’ve seen in the movies, of course. *wink wink*
