And if the argument comes to the "Axe's are useful and not dangerous in the hands of criminals like guns", ask that poor dead SOB who wore one in his skull. Guns, including uzi's, are only as dangerous as the hands they are in. And I would rather have one in my hand when the first robber breaks thru the front door than the axe.
Ummm, I can use a hatchet to many useful things. The same cannot be said for an automatic machine gun or 50 cal rifle. By your logic we would have to ban kitchen knives, box cutters, tire irons, hammers, baseball bats, meat hooks, pillows, cellaphane, & the list go's on and on. Why? Because all of these things can be used to kill. Bad argument.
