Dangerous Hammers

 

Excerpts from news:


Hammer-Wielding Stranger Fractures Woman's Skull, Kicks Her Down Stairs in Subway Attack ...


The husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked at the couple's San Francisco home with a hammer...


Woman seen on video attacking Oakland bus driver with hammer


Police are searching for a Port Huron man accused of attacking a woman with a hammer


A York, S.C. grandmother is speaking out after an intruder attacked her with a hammer in her own home …


The incidents recounted above illustrate the urgent need for legislation to curtail crime by outlawing illegal hammers.


First, I would ask “Did the hammers have a handle longer than ten inches?”

Ten seems to be the magic number for proscriptions.

Nobody needs a hammer with a handle longer than ten inches. Such an item becomes a weapon that could continue to deliver deadly blows without repositioning. The capability to deliver repeated strikes with such a dangerous instrument clearly indicates the need for regulation. Such militaristic designs should be allowed only in the hands of professionals.

If the hammer is built with those dangerous claws that curve down in a threatening manner, it must be outlawed. Else society is in danger.
