England was considering the same thing. A belt, a string, or even a sharpened pencil can all be exceedingly dangerous in the hands of someone who wishes to wreak havoc or kill. The rest of us will be left with only wooden spoons with which to eat if restrictions to "dangerous items" continue. Everything has the potential to be dangerous, if misused.

I remember the last one wounded 22 children. I think a regulation was introduced (don't know if it was passed) that involved having to show their national ID card when purchasing a large knife. I don't know when all governments are going to realize it is the person holding a weapon who kills. Not the weapon. A weapon can be anything if killing is ones intent.
