Too many controls

Re: "Knife sales must be controlled," by Elke Blodgett, Letters, Nov.
30.

The thought that killings can be reduced or eliminated by controlling
the sale of knives is a knee-jerk reaction to a far more complicated
social issue.

It isn't the weapons that need to be controlled; it's the behaviour of
the violent members of society that must be addressed. We have gun
control, sort of, yet the shootings continue.

So now we'll need knife control, hammer control, scissor control,
screwdriver control and control of whatever else can be used as a
weapon.
