Well wondered. And you've put the situation regarding control, gun or 
otherwise, succinctly and perfectly. For some really great insight into 
"what happened" check out knife writer Bernard Levine's page: 
www.knife-expert.com/
I read and downloaded a few years ago a couple of his essays on knife 
laws in the United States and I've never forgotten them. This guy is 
great.

[Oh-oh. I just checked his site and it seems his links page has 
"exceeded its bandwith this month". But I'd be happy to email his two 
articles to anyone who wants them. Great insight on antis of whatever 
stripe.]
