A Good Case For "Hammer Control"

Police: Hammer Attack In Brooklyn Subway Station Was Not The First - CBS New York:
(May 08, 2012)

Straphangers are on alert after police said a suspect attacked a man with a hammer at a Brooklyn subway station.

The victim was staggered by a blow to his head.  Then the assailant robbed him of $140 and left, still hanging onto his hammer with both hands.

This not the first time it has happened, either.  CBS interviewed people in the subway station.

Money Quote:

“I think it’s horrendous. I think that there should be some type of safety protocol put in place so that people can be safe down here because that type of thing happening in a New York City subway station where it’s public is just ridiculous”

England, take note:

 You already forbid your subjects the possession of guns and knives.
Maybe it's time to add hammers to the list of "What We Should Ban This Week".

American "Gun Control Enthusiasts" take note:

A woman's work is never done.
