So the media breathlessly reported this weekend on the war vet who hopped the white house fence with "a 2-1/2inch folding knife with a serrated blade". Or in other words, a pocket knife.
Show me a war veteran, or boy-scout for that matter, who doesn't carry a pocket knife. There were no reports that he was brandishing or otherwise threatening anybody with the knife, yet the news media were fixated on the "knife with a serrated blade". Apparently being serrated makes it a more threatening weapon in the eyes of the hysterical, ignorant media.

BAN SERRATIONS! MANDATORY BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR ALL KNIFE PURCHASES!!!
I'm sure, even now some busy-body politician is racking his tiny, deranged brain to figure out a knife-prohibition bill to sponsor.
Ed,
I always carry a pocket knife. Always have. My dad still does and I gave one to my son. To me it's just natural.
I suppose if I end up on the wrong side of a velvet rope I would be demonized as well.
