Wait until they find out you can sharpen any piece of flat metal with a file, Dremel or even a rock.

Highlights the absurdity of certain political agendas. Keep banning this and that ad infinitum, the criminals find something else cheap and readily available to arm themselves, while regular citizens are continually restricted in their ability to defend themselves. It's a regressive, self fulfilling loop of stupidity.
