I know -- Let's make a RULE!

Yeah, that'll work!

Summary: Two workers at a Chrysler auto plant have a problem with one another. One worker brings a knife to work, kills the other with the knife, removes himself from the area and subsequently kills himself with a gun.

Quote
Chrysler officials said no weapons are allowed inside the plant, which does not have metal detectors. Chrysler Senior Vice President Scott Garberding said they now plan to increase security at the facility.

That rule sure worked out great, didn't it?

No big heavy wrench or nothing else dangerous in an auto plant 
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Chrysler Workers: Stabbing At Plant Was Over A Woman

http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2012/09/20/chrysler-workers-stabbing-at-plant-was-over-a-woman/

Quote
one worker at the plant told WWJ Newsradio 950′s Chrystal Knight he knew both the suspect and the victim and it all started with a feud that began a few days ago over the suspect’s wife.
 
“The one gentleman who allegedly did the stabbing — his wife works here at the plant. So, allegedly … they got into an argument about the gentleman’s wife,” he said. ”The gentleman, he got really upset about it, and today he was in a real weird mood.”

He keeps referring to the staber as "gentleman".  I'm not positive about Michigan, but it is common in the prison systems of several states I am familiar with (Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, New York, California, Louisiana) for one resident to refer to another resident as "gentleman".  Wonder if the same turn of phrase is at play here.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.
