Hallo,
krankheitsbedingt sitze ich seid tage recht viel zuhause. Im USN bin ich über ein Post von Peter Atwood gestolpert.
Zusätzlich zu seiner aussage habe ich per PM noch mal nachgefragt ob ich sein Post veröffentlichen darf.
Noch nicht mit Gesetzesänderungen bedroht, aber die Reaktionen der mitmenschen scheinen überall gleich.
I’d like to call people’s attention to a modern phenomena that has really gotten out of hand. It’s called Knife Phobia, the fear of any knife whatsoever in public, private or the workplace. Why someone would have a fear of a tiny pocket knife, surely one of the most common and useful tools in existence, is just beyond me. Were you afraid when your Grandpa used his folding knife to cut a piece of fruit or a string? What about that Swiss Army knife that you had in Scouts?
Recently I pulled out a small knife with a two inch blade from my pocket in order to open a plastic package. I was in an empty restaurant for an early lunch, no one else was around. The owner said to me “Whoah, you could kill someone with that! “ And he made gestures like he was disemboweling someone. This was a TWO inch blade…meanwhile he has an EIGHT inch chef’s knife at his side. I gave him a look of complete and total pity at his lack of logical thinking and proceeded to open my plastic package.
This idea that a pocket knife is a weapon is totally preposterous. It is a tool, period. And if you look at the statistics you will find that almost all the knife related crimes that occur are perpetuated with kitchen knives. So give the humble and innocent pocket knife a break, it could be a lifesaver to you some day. Even better, buy one for yourself and carry it at all times (except in courthouses, schools and airplanes of course). You just might realize how handy and harmless it really is.
Egal wie sich die Initiative Berlins, oder der Vorstoss der Grünen entwickeln sollten wir nicht nachlassen Messer als normale alltägliche Gegenstände zu bewerben.
Diese "Knife Phobia" oder deutsch Messerangst zu bekämpen dürfte die grosse Herrausvorderung sein.
