Good grief, do you think WalMart hired a hatchet man?  Should have paid more than the current minimum wage and all would have been avoided 

Wouldn't that incident be cited as a reason for "hatchet control"?

I don't see how gun control would help prevent hatchet attacks.  If anything, it would make hatchet attacks more common if people no longer had guns to defend themselves from hatchet attackers.

I can't find the reference right now, but I've seen claims that knife attacks are a reason that we need stricter gun control.

To me, the operative word is "control".  The gun or hatchet or knife prefix is just a front to get more people to swallow that "government is here to help you" rather than "the government is here to control you".  Just one more big old con job. 

But then again, I admit I do enjoy the benefits of highways and the military among other government services, albeit many of those "services" could likely be more economical if privatized.  In business, we tried to reduce overhead.  In government, it seems expanded overhead (and thus expanded control) is the heroic goal.  But I'm getting off track so I'll stop venting.
