We were carrying knives yesterday. We didn't give it a thought. We were going fishing and walking through a crowded public area with police. Just as someone carrying a screwdriver for their glasses, a utility pocket knife etc. Unless you were drunk and threatening violence to someone. It is all about context and while some think it is nannyish, the law works fine. As it does in most countries.

Okay, let's ban all books and writings at all. We can just accept the law which states "writing anything is illegal, publishing anything is illegal, reading anything is illegal". Of course, nobody will check you as long as you don't rape children. Of course, even if the police will check you, there will be a justice in the court, and you will be released. How about such a law?
