"Blunt Objects" require proof of training at Farm & Field

ATLANTA, June 28, 2005 -- President George Bush should 
regulate blunt objects that could cause severe injuries or even 
death, according to a leading outdoors auction website.

"There has long been pressure on politicians to ban guns of all 
sorts, and already we see new pressures to ban kitchen knives," 
says Farm & Field Auctions President Chad Brown. He is referring 
to the report by doctors from West Middlesex University Hospital 
in Great Britain, who blame half of all stabbings on kitchen 
knives. The doctors are calling for a ban of long, pointy 
kitchen knives.

Farm & Field Auctions maintains that the United States cannot 
stand idly by, while Great Britain takes the lead in injury 
prevention. "We have to get ahead of the curve," Brown declares 
"Great Britain has already banned most guns, and now it might ban 
knives, too. We can claim our rightful lead in personal safety 
by regulating all blunt objects before they do."

The US Department of Justice reports that 26% of violent crimes 
involve a weapon. Blunt objects, such as rocks, clubs, 
blackjacks, bats, and metal pipes, accounted for more injuries 
from violent crimes than knives and other pointed objects, and 
almost as many incidents of armed violence. Meanwhile, the New 
York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault reports that 35% of 
assault are committed with clubs and other blunt objects.

Asked why he does not want all blunt objects banned, Brown said 
that would be just plain silly. "Britain's murder rate has been 
steadily rising since most guns were banned in 1996," he said. 
"Could you imagine the how crowded our hospitals would be if we 
banned blunt objects altogether?"

Farm & Field Auctions says that regulating rocks, clubs, 
blackjacks, bats, and metal pipes could more significantly cut 
down in injuries from violent crime than by banning them. 

"We have taken the first step," says Brown. "We do not allow 
anyone to bid on rocks, metal pipes, clubs or bats, not even 
rolling pins or frying pans, unless they can produce a 
certificate of proper training. Now it is up to the government 
to take action."
