Good point, Trisha. Anything can kill. I feel strongly that we should
address the problem of who does the killing long before we try to
control what object they choose to commit the act. I drive a diesel car
and use Scott's Turf Builder on my lawn. Innocent enough by themselves,
but should I so desire I could turn those two disparate items into
something incredibly deadly.
BTW--I once killed a rabid racoon with a conk on the head by 5 lb jar of
smooth Skippy peanut butter. I don't mind if the gov't wants to
regulate the sale of smooth PB, but they can have my Chunky when they
pry my cold, dead fingers from the jar. ;>)
(Maybe they'll change the BATF from Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Fireams to Bureau of Animals Threated by Foodstuffs?).
