Ken, I pray that the CT legislature does not pass this bill. Most of us here on the SY forum are outdoorsmen. We use knives, axes, and guns. Some are Republicans, some Democrats, some independents, some are even libertarians. What we share is a love of freedom. We are not particularly political on this forum, but some issues cry out for comment. If the government goes after the guns, they will go after the knives. The horror that happened at Sandy Hook school is no reason to punish those who had nothing to do with it. Good luck.
