Do they propose to invade every home and remove knives from every kitchen? How will they enforce this?
US schools have been called “the finest minimum security prisons that money can buy” due to our obsession with access control, security screenings, book bag bans, etc. Look at how well that’s worked for us.

Judging from the following comments, it seems we may have found the Israeli/Russian/Chinese/North Korean disinformation farmer.
