As I have noted before, The City of Rome outlawed carrying knives – even professional bodyguards were limited to clubs. Which is why Julius Caesar was beaten to death.
Every time this comes up, I have to look up images of a poniard, to remind myself why those are specifically banned from public carry here in Texas (along with dirks, stilettos, swords, spears and Bowie knives).
And holy fucking hell, when was it that the first time somebody does something wrong with a thing, it became our first impulse to ban it in the hope that nobody else will ever do something wrong with one? Fucking liberals.

I bet Sen Avella walked away from that photo shoot looking for a clean pair of underwear.

I’m pretty sure that Caesar was stabbed to death – the Senators were allowed to carry blades.

Yeah, poniards are still prohibited in IN, even though we can carry switchblades now.
