Common Sense Measures Needed

In another sad reminder of what our current laws can bring, a man has been arrested in Oregon for attacking people in a Toys-R-Us parking lot with a light saber.  The suspect struck several innocent by-standers, probably including children, kittens, and old people, and even used the diabolical blade of evil to break the leads to a taser that police used to try to subdue him.

When is the National Lightsaber Association going to admit that the free ownership and carrying of these dangerous implements endangers puppies and babies across the country? 

Any deranged person can walk into a saber shop and purchase a lightsaber without having to prove that they have the training and discipline of a Jedi.  Criminals have found ways to make assault lightsabers by mating two lightsabers at the hilt.  It is even possible for criminals to buy a lightsaber using the 'saber show loophole', meaning that there is no criminal background check done.  How are we supposed to feel safe in our homes if we don't know who is buying lightsabers?  Some will argue that ownership of lightsabers is a right, but don't we have a right to feel safe from some Jedi wanna-be freaking out and cutting off hands indiscriminately?

Will no-one think of the Ewoks?  How many of these fuzzy little critters have to die before we finally get rid of these evil lightsabers?

Was it a red one or a green one? Because if it was green, he was probably perfectly justified.

Hopefully, all of them.

And the Gunguns. (sp?)
